Spinach Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing

This hot bacon spinach salad with black-eyed peas is a twist on one of my favorite culinary traditions: serving beans and greens on New Year's Day. Greens represent paper money and beans symbolize coins. Here I present these ingredients in salad form, which is a great delivery system for hot bacon dressing.

Chef John's Panzanella

The key to this panzanella is frying the bread cubes in loads of olive oil in a skillet, which obviously makes them crispy. But the healthful fat also soaks into the bread cubes and renders them semi-waterproof, or dressing-proof. The same goes for the dusting of Parmesan cheese applied halfway through the crisping process.

12-Second Coleslaw

When people think of coleslaw, they think of that bowl of soggy, shredded cabbage sitting at the end of the picnic table. This angel hair coleslaw recipe is a completely different approach — fresh, shredded cabbage prepared as a fast (12 seconds adding ingredients, 30 seconds to mix), crisp, low-cal, low-carb, slightly spicy, and delicious dish that you should be eating as part of your regular veggie side rotation. Serve immediately after mixing.

Deviled Egg Noodle Salad

We are not turning deviled eggs into a noodle salad, here. We are actually making a salad with the same flavors, using egg noodles. Because we use so many ingredients that typically are used for deviled eggs, this salad really does have a similar flavor profile and tastes amazing. Garnish the salad with freshly chopped chives and green onions.

Apple Jicama Coleslaw

This jicama slaw recipe is crispy, crunchy, and extremely refreshing. It features an underutilized vegetable found in almost every large American grocery store's produce section — I'm talking about jicama.

Chef John's Empty Mayo Jar Dressing

When you're down to that empty mayo jar, don't incessantly scrape or toss it out and open a new one. There's a better way: use the jar to make a dressing.

Armenian-Style Potato Salad

Potato salad is the first food I remember eating, so I really do have a deep emotional attachment, but every so often, I crave something completely different—and this Armenian-style potato salad is completely different. And completely delicious. Serve drizzled with more olive oil and garnished with more fresh mint.

Chef John's Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

A cheese grater and a wedge of frozen blue cheese feature in this top-secret method for creamy blue cheese dressing. The grated cheese blends in perfectly as opposed to larger chunks which just sink to the bottom.

Greek Chicken and Potato Bowl

How do you make our Big Fat Greek Salad bigger and fatter? By adding garlic, lemon, and herb chicken. Plus, some crispy, crunchy, pan dripping-soaked potatoes. And yes, we could've called this Greek Chicken and Potato Salad. But it's come to my attention that these days, people really enjoy eating things called "bowls."

Grilled Shrimp Louie

The dressing for this dish is made to use with crab, but I think the smoky grilled shrimp are a great summertime twist. Make the dressing ahead of time and chill it before you adjust the seasonings.
