Easier in the warmer months when easy summer salads can be made because lettuce harvests are abundant all season. The grocers will have access to fresh local produce and the farmers markets will be bustling with their crops to sell.
Lettuce salad recipes with other greens added in for example kale, swiss chard, spinach, and the like, will in some areas be referred to as Garden Salads with the addition of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. A similar salad to the mesclun but does not necessarily have to be made of young salad greens. They can be more mature, but the list will be similar.
I often include red and green types of lettuce varieties, swiss chard leaves, a little young kale with salt to tenderize them , spinach, and red or green cabbage for a great summer salad. Vegetable salads are what the name says, they focus primarily on fresh vegetables, either raw, cooked like the French Potato Salad must be before eating, or lightly roasted vegetables cooled can be a salad on their own or added to raw vegetables.
The famous French Dish Ratatouille is also a good stand-in as a cold salad. And with the addition of herbs, cheese, or a vinaigrette dressing pairing nicely with each. The spotlight for some is a single vegetable like my French Grated Carrot Salad , Refreshing Tomato Salad Recipe , and Cucumber Salad Recipe , which may sound plain but have nothing bland about them, they are tasty, with French herb mixes like Herbes de Provence and Fines Herbes accenting the star vegetables!
Most salads are served as a side and add far more than flavor, variation, and nutrition, they also add color as this Crunchy Red Cabbage Salad Recipe does. Salad recipes can be a medley of fresh, crunchy assorted vegetables such as the classic Salade Niçoise With Homemade Dressing. My Tasty Thai Spicy Beef Salad is another one like the Salade Niçoise that has a large selection of vegetables along with a protein, in this case, beef, to make it a good vegetable meal salad, and yes, it is not traditionally French, but mixing cuisines has its benefits too!
These are the protein types of salads that are made with meats, and cheese, like my Salade Auvergnate , which is like a ham salad recipe, or Bacon Salad Recipe For A Flavorful Twist. In the bacon salad French bacon is called lardon, meat from the pork belly and now is cut with very little fat, not like our North American bacon, which has lots of fat. When cooking with bacon, I always use back bacon or peameal bacon rather than strip bacon because of the lower fat content and meaty makeup.
Then we have fish in the famous Salade Niçoise made with both tuna and spunky anchovies.
