Rather thanfishy anchovies, the dressing gets its hit of umami from Worcestershire sauce.

The grated boiled eggs make the salad hearty enough for a main dish when you want a lighter supper.

Go ahead and throw on some toasted pumpkin seeds while you’re at it.

It’s complete with a zesty lemon and olive oil dressing.

Warm roasted broccoli gets combined with salty Parmesan, spicy baby arugula leaves, and creamy white beans.

The red onions soak in the lemony dressing to temper the bite before everything is tossed together.

Strawberry-Spinach Salad

Nothing quite says “spring is here” like a light and fresh berry salad.

Especially when it’s served over spinach and tossed with a Vidalia onion dressing.

Blue cheese and candied pecans add some heft to this springy side.
