Get Your Greens (Gleefully) With This Vibrant Pasta Salad
Recipes Aug. 17, 2026, 2:00 PM EST / Updated Aug. 17, 2026, 2:54 PM EDT Johnny Miller for The New York Times Add to Google Rating: (0) Chef notes This vibrant green pasta salad gets its color from a combination of spinach and basil, but you can swap the spinach for arugula for a more peppery finish. (Some of us need a little bite in our lives!). The miso in the sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting, imparting a salty, almost Parmesan-like quality.
Spicy and Creamy Cashew Chicken Salad
Chef notes Chicken salad can often veer a little heavy, weighed down by too much mayonnaise or a dressing that dulls everything it touches. This one takes a different approach: Cashew butter gives the dressing a creamy body, while soy sauce, fresh lemon juice and a little honey keep it bright, salty and lively. The result is something that coats the cabbage and chicken just enough without feeling too rich.
Palm Springs Date Shake Original
An old-school California date shake is definitely not a smoothie. A specialty of Southern California’s Coachella Valley, where date palms thrive in the desert climate, it’s a rich, sweet milkshake that’s spawned countless iterations made with frozen bananas, almond milk, Greek yogurt, or nut butter. This date shake recipe keeps the focus on the dates and store-bought vanilla ice cream.
