Open in Pepper →A bowl of lettuce is not lunch — the salads that hold you until dinner have grilled chicken, salmon, chickpeas, or a soft-boiled egg on top.
Cooks on Pepper build the base around massaged greens, one crunchy element, one creamy element, and a citrus-forward dressing shaken in a jar.
The recipes here are the community's lunch rotation for the weeks they want to eat lighter without ending the meal hungry.
Massage kale and romaine
A drizzle of oil and a 30-second squeeze softens sturdy greens and cuts bitterness.
Dress just before serving
Vinaigrettes wilt lettuce fast — toss at the table, not in the fridge.
Roast one component
A hot roasted sweet potato or chickpea against cold greens is the texture contrast that makes a salad crave-able.
Shake dressing in a jar
No whisk, no bowl — one jar, one shake, and the emulsion holds long enough to pour.
