When a warm late-winter weekend had me pretending summer had arrived, I made Ina Garten’s Middle Eastern Vegetable Salad. Chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, herbs, and feta are tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette for an easy no-cook dinner. Even with less-than-perfect produce, it’s fresh, satisfying, and a great reminder of warmer days.
Ina Garten’s Roasted Butternut Squash Salad proves salads can feel right in winter. Maple-roasted squash, jammy cranberries, peppery arugula, toasted walnuts, and Parmesan get tossed with a warm cider vinaigrette that’s tangy, sweet, and glossy. It’s cozy, bright, and the perfect balance of comforting and fresh for cooler months.
This Autumn Panzanella is packed with roasted butternut squash, macerated red onions, toasted hazelnuts, and crispy fried sage. A brown-butter vinaigrette ties everything together, soaking into golden croutons. It’s make-ahead friendly, vibrant, and the perfect salad to brighten a Thanksgiving spread.

Inspired by Ina Garten’s roasted grapes, this salad pairs jammy, caramelized grapes with spiced cauliflower, peppery arugula, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy nuts. A honey-Dijon vinaigrette ties it all together for a sweet, tangy, and savory dish that’s perfect for fall dinners, holiday tables, or weekday meal prep.
This Smitten Kitchen grilled chicken salad is smoky, zesty, and absolutely crave-worthy. Chili-rubbed chicken thighs meet charred corn, creamy avocado, and crisp greens, finished with a tangy cilantro-lime dressing. The salty crunch of Fritos takes it over the top – bright, hearty, and satisfying enough to make even salad skeptics fall in love.
Farro may be the unsung hero of whole grains, but Ina Garten and Yotam Ottolenghi know its magic. Ina hooked me with her baked farro and butternut squash, and Ottolenghi sealed the deal with his roasted pepper salad. This smoky, briny, feta-topped dish proves farro deserves star billing.
