Warm Chicken Waldorf Salad

If you’ve got some pungent bleu cheese or crumbly aged goat cheese on hand, toss some onto these welcoming winter salads. The richness of a nut oil in the dressing rounds out the toasty flavor of the dish. Like any good Waldorf, this one features the best of winter apples—dressed up with a delicate walnut oil vinaigrette.

Leafy Chicken Salad with Berries & Beets

Either julienne raw beets for this beautiful quick salad, or look for cooked beets in the produce section or even jarred pickled beets—a surprising sweet-tart counterpoint to the sweet berries and pungent blue cheese.

Parisian Chicken Salad

The recipe makes more mayo than you’ll need for the salad, but it holds beautifully for about 5 days in the fridge.

Refreshed Chinese Chicken Salad

This winter salad is a fresh take on American-style Chinese chicken salads filled with canned mandarin oranges, almonds, and broken chow mein noodles. If you like the bitter-sweet flavor of kumquats, substitute them for the orange segments—just slice them, skin and all, and toss into the salad.

Herbed Chicken & Farro Caprese

There are lots of choices for sturdy nutritious whole grains that make nice main dish salads, but rustic farro is a fun option. It holds up well after cooking, rivaling pasta, rice, or barley as a great go-to ingredient for quick or do-ahead dishes.

Warm Chicken Salad with Roasted Asparagus

As more summer produce appears in the market or your garden, you can make this main dish salad with just about anything. Roast or grill quartered beets, halved Roma tomatoes, sliced eggplant, sweet bell peppers or long slices of zucchini.

Chicken BLT Salad with Warm Garlic Vinaigrette

Mix up the kinds of tomato you use in this juicy salad—and the window for flavorful varieties can be tight, depending on the weather. Using ultra-thin slices of prosciutto ham, crisped up in the oven, instead of bacon, is a fun twist and absolutely addicting. Add more texture by making rustic croutons to sprinkle on top.
