If a warm salad seems enigmatic to you, you’re not alone. You may think this is a gourmet dish that high-end chefs serve at restaurants, not a casual lunch you make at home. But there are so many reasons why you should be making warm salads—starting with the fact that you’re missing out if you don’t.
For starters, warm or cooked food is comforting in colder climates, or in winter. Would you rather have your farro warm or cold when the temperatures drop? We think the answer here is a given. The contrasts inside a warm salad can be exciting, too. While some ingredients may be warmed or even consumed hot, others might be cold and refreshing. For example, the heat from crispy potatoes can add a gorgeous wilt to spinach, half-cooking it for your warm meal. These salads also pack a variety of textures, from crispy to tender.
Whether a warm salad is your dinner’s supporting actor or the starring player, you’ll enjoy biting into these savory and versatile dishes that bring heat to your plate.
