1. Grilled Hearts of Romaine
“This is truly and ridiculously easy,” says Chef John. “The trick is to get the grill grates very hot. And the result? A lightly caramelized surface and a slightly smoky flavor. The insides stay cool and crisp. It’s quite a contrast of tastes and textures.”

7. Best Broccoli Salad
You’ll toss florets of broccoli and cauliflower with chopped apples, Mandarin oranges, sunflower seeds and Catalina dressing. “This is a sweet and crunchy salad that was a nice change from lettuce based salads,” says Allison.
