CRUNCHY SPRING ICEBERG SALAD
A big plate of greens may feel virtuous, but this one is also luxurious. This is a very green salad, with chunks of crisp iceberg lettuce serving as a bed for briefly blanched peas and asparagus, topped with a cooling-yet-spicy cilantro yogurt. Tearing the iceberg into bite-size chunks makes this an easy-to-eat salad, no knife required. It's particularly great for outdoor dining or for those who need to eat with one hand. (We see you, new parents.) The feta adds lovely hints of tang and saltiness that work well with the herbaceous yogurt. The peas and asparagus bring freshness; you could also use other springtime staples such as snow peas, sugar snap peas or sliced radish. Serve with jammy boiled eggs for something heartier.

Steps:
- Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
- Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
- Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.

- Simple Butter Lettuce Salad. In just five minutes, you’re going to have this super simple, low-calorie Butter Lettuce Salad to enjoy. Butterhead lettuce is my favorite which is why I put this recipe at the top of the list.
- Lettuce Salad with Tomato and Cucumber. This next salad, Lettuce with Tomato and Cucumber, is quite similar to my grandmother’s recipe for summertime get-togethers.
- Classic Waldorf Salad. Apples and walnuts in a salad? Count me in! This Classic Waldorf Salad is one of the few ways my mother will eat mayonnaise. However, if you’re not a big fan of this dressing, I’ve prepared this salad before with plain yogurt and a dash of pesto, as well as sour cream and some sugar.
- Lettuce Salad with Caper Vinaigrette. While similar to olives, capers do have a more acquired taste. If you’ve not had the chance to eat capers before, this Lettuce Salad with Caper Vinaigrette is a great and easy option to help you warm up to them.
- Shrimp Caesar Salad. This Shrimp Caesar Salad is a healthy recipe, perfect for those fond of Cajun cuisine. While the salad calls for romaine lettuce, I’ve added my favorite, butterhead, too, and it’s brought a juciness that goes well with the buttery tenderness of the shrimp.
- French Butter-Lettuce Salad. French Butter-Lettuce Salad; one of my favorite sides to pair with hearty dinners because of how light and refreshing it tastes!
- The Best Green Salad Recipe. This is quite a simple lettuce salad, but incredibly yummy and perfect for family dinners. Or, if you’re interested in doubling or tripling the recipe, you can serve this at a dinner party or larger gathering.
- Bacon Avocado Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette. Controversial statement incoming; I don’t like bacon. And, I’m also not a fan of adding it to salads.
- BLTA Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps. I know, I know, another bacon recipe. What am I doing? Well, it wouldn’t make sense to leave these Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps off of the list.
- Fattoush Salad. This recipe is a great way to enjoy romaine lettuce. Another fan favorite at my family dinners, Fattoush Salad, packs a zippy punch because it calls for lemon, garlic, and sumac.
