SOS SALAD

[jjhunter]

I'm signed up to make a non-vegan salad (though vegan's okay too) for Friday, and I want to make something absolutely awesome, something that isn't your typical salad but makes you want to convert to salad-dom from here on out anyway. Any recommendations? recipes? links? sources of inspiration? All would be most welcome.

n.b. am intrigued by amalnahurriyeh's Green Salad with Pistachio-crusted Goat Cheese Balls & Onion Vinaigrette, but would like some backup options just in case. (I like doing the 'Cook's Assistant' chore at the Co-op where I live--it consists of making a salad & (sometimes) making a desert; we generally serve 30+ people every dinner. I've got a rep for unusual-but-delicious salads, mostly garnered trying out recipes from the New York Times article 101 Simple Salads for the Season. Unfortunately, it is no longer summer, which makes certain ingredients harder to come by.)

I love salads with things that have been roasted, particularly in autumn or spring when it's not, imo, warm enough for crunchy lettuce. Roast whatever you have up with garlic, olive oil and white wine or balsamic vinegar, with some herbs, and serve warm, with parmesan and walnuts if you want.

I like looking for recipes on Mindfood. They have oddly delicious recipes, like this one for apple-beetroot salad.
