I'll confess, I've always been more of a summer-salad person than a winter-salad person. But this year I've resolved to set aside my leafy-green biases and change all that. The first step: browsing through our archives for inspiring winter salad recipes. Not surprisingly, there were a number of tantalizing choices featuring a gamut of ingredients, from cauliflower and celeriac to peanuts and persimmons.
Before I began digging, I was expecting to find lots of color, but I was still impressed with what turned up. From pale lemony yellow to deep purple, this is a visually exciting array of dishes. So now my goal is to eat my way through this herbaceous rainbow by trying a new salad every week until spring. Any other takers?

Ugh, I have been having the hardest time getting my vegetables this winter--all I've been craving are potatoes! I did make an arugula salad with a warm shallot/anchovy dressing, which hit the spot, and then another great winter salad is this easy tahini slaw<a/>.
