Fresh Salads and Sides

Salt and water are the whole story on this page. Salt draws water out, which is what you want for a cucumber you are about to dress and exactly what you do not want for leaves you are serving in ten minutes. Dress too early and the greens collapse; dress at the table and they stay upright.Sides have the same timing problem in the other direction. Roasted vegetables need room on the tray or they steam instead of browning, and a crowded pan is the single most common reason they come out pale and limp. The recipes here say which things can wait and which cannot.For the mains they sit beside, see Hearty Casseroles and Cheesy Dinners. For the holiday table, Holiday Favorites.
