A stunning jumble of ingredients you'll forget are healthy the moment you take a bite. Sweet roasted beets. Peppery watercress. Tangy feta. And a perfectly balanced vinaigrette.

Eggplant, celery, fennel, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, olives, raisins, and pine nuts, oh my! Sicilian heaven in the form of a pleasingly tart side dish of sorts.

Watermelon takes on a sweet heat when rubbed with a nubbin of ginger. Wowsers.

Unexpected, easy, eye-catching, and impressive as heck. That's what we think of this lovely autumnal juxtaposition of tastes and textures that's gonna upend the way you think about salads.

Mushrooms and butter and garlic. Think you've been there, done that? Trust us, you haven't. Not like this, anyway.
