a stunning salad, and the toasted hazelnuts add a lovely crunch.

My great-grandmother used to make a version of this salad for family outings to the county fair. According to my grandma, she would wrap it up in pretty bowls and always bring real china and napkins instead of plastic picnic wear. She tells me we would have gotten along well. So it’s no wonder that I obsessively collect small dishes and other various props for photographing my creations!

This simple salad has all the flavors of a classic BLT sandwich, but without the bread! Cook an extra portion of bacon with your morning breakfast so you can throw it together quickly at lunchtime or as a dinner salad.

Green papaya salads have always been one of my favorite appetizers at Thai restaurants, but when we lived in Kona, Hawaii for a short period, I realized that they were actually really easy to make at home. Green papayas are pretty abundant at the farmers’ markets there, so we were able to enjoy this salad anytime a craving hit. If you’re not in a tropical area, you can find these fruits at Asian markets, or substitute unripe mangos or even jicama. The dressing complements any relatively crunchy, julienned fruit or vegetable.

I first made this salad on a whim when I had a lot of ingredients to use up. It quickly became a family favorite and is the first salad my husband requests. I think it’s the bacon and sweet roasted beets that won him over.

Even my husband is happy to eat this salad as a meal because it’s so hearty. The Dijon and basil lend complexity to the dressing, and the artichoke hearts provide the extra layer of flavor that blue cheese does in the traditional version.

Iceberg lettuce surely doesn’t provide a lot of nutrients, and this may be the simplest of salads, but a crisp wedge with creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and lots of vegetables is Ryan’s favorite steak-house salad. Blue cheese dressing typically accompanies this classic dish, but it contains dairy and often wheat from the cheese, so I use my dairy-free herb ranch dressing here. See my note below about how to transform this dressing into a creamy blue cheese version, if you are not keeping dairy-free.
