The creamy dressing balances beautifully with the tart-sweet mix of apples and beets, creating a refreshing, colorful salad that’s best served chilled.

Crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes and creamy avocado create a delicious contrast in this easy salad. Tossed with a zesty lemon-shallot vinaigrette, this salad is bright, tangy and perfectly balanced. It’s best served right away, as the cucumbers tend to release water over time, which can dilute the vinaigrette.

Shaved Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette & Parmesan

In her new cookbook, Carolina Gelen writes: “Some children grew up with fruit plates as a snack; I grew up with crisp, salted cauliflower to nibble on. My mom would always buy a bigger cauliflower than needed for a recipe since we’d munch on pretty much half of it before cooking. Heavily inspired by my mother’s cauliflower snacking plates, this simple shaved cauliflower tossed in a lemon vinaigrette was born. In a world where cauliflower seems to get relegated to replacing one carb or another, there’s something refreshing in letting cauliflower be its true self. Thinly shaved to highlight its pleasant crunch, the cauliflower may have a modest flavor but it’s perfectly paired with the punchy vinaigrette in this chic, monochromatic salad.”

This zucchini salad is a taste of peak-season bliss, combining sun-kissed zucchini with the creaminess of burrata cheese.

Inspired by the French carrot salad often found in bistros, this zesty carrot salad features a sweet-and-savory vinaigrette that adds punch to every bite. Serve it on its own, mix it with greens, or use it as part of a sandwich or wrap filling. Let it stand for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Freshly grated carrots work best here. Grate them using the large holes on a box grater, or use the shredding disk for your food processor if you have one.
