PUMPERNICKEL PANZANELLA • In a salad that typically relies on juicy acidic tomatoes for brightness, cold-weather citrus makes for a great swap. Don’t be shy with the dressing—the crusty croutons can soak up a shocking amount well before getting too soggy.

CHARD SALAD WITH JUST ENOUGH PASTA • Pasta salad can be a winter food too! In this version Swiss chard is the star—the stems are thinly sliced and sizzled until crisp, while the leaves are just wilted down in a hot pan.

SMOKY CHICKEN AND AVOCADO SALAD • Once you mash avocado and lime juice into raw kale you might never eat this hearty green any other way. Say goodbye to squeaky kale.

THE HERBIEST POTATOES AND SALMON • A shower of bright herbs, briny green olives, and pickled Peppadew peppers transforms a sheet-pan dinner into a warm salad.

SPICED LAMB AND SHAVED CARROTS • Can you serve a salad in a skillet? We think yes, especially when there’s a layer of spiced ground lamb underneath. Don’t forget the pita for scooping.
