Who says salad season ends when the temperature drops? These winter salad recipes prove a big bowl of produce can be just as cozy as any stew. Think kale, roasted squash, and cabbage—hearty, cold-weather vegetables that shine when tossed with sharp vinaigrettes, creamy dressings, or a little salty cheese. Mix bitter lettuce varieties like radicchio and endive with tender greens, add something substantial like lentils or roasted sweet potatoes, and finish with bright pops of pomegranate or dried cranberries. Whether you’re after a quick lunch, a side for roast chicken, or a satisfying weeknight dinner, these winter salad recipes bring warmth, crunch, and color to the colder months.
