The most popular dense bean salad recipe, according to its creator, TikTok star Violet Witchel Recipes
I’ve tried plenty of recipes from social media, so I know they can be a bit hit and miss. The dense bean salad, however, is a winner every time—it’s easy to make, nutritious and is a great dish to meal prep. It’s been so popular that its creator, Violet Witchel, also known as Dense Bean Salad Girl, is set to release her first cookbook with Harper Collins in 2027. Ahead of the launch, Witchel shared the recipe for the sundried tomato dense bean salad with Fit&Well. “This is my most popular dense bean salad, and for good reason,” says Witchel. “It’s mild but still really flavorful and bright, with tons of crunchy texture that makes it satisfying to eat. It’s also naturally high in fiber and plant-based protein from the beans, which helps support digestion and keeps you full longer.” Article continues below You may like The recipe is a great make-ahead meal. “The beans soak up the dressing as it sits,” says Witchel, “so the flavor gets even better throughout the week.

Tuna, roast pepper, tomato and white bean salad
This is based on the classic Italian tuna and bean salad, but I’ve gone further. If you have time to toss the beans with the dressing a few hours before you want to assemble and serve, do it. The beans taste wonderful once they’ve marinated for a while. You can roast the peppers yourself or use ready-cooked ones from a jar. The quality of the tuna and the anchovies is very important. I use jarred Ortiz tuna or canned Charles Basset (the latter isn’t as good but it’s cheaper). Waitrose also do very good own-label jarred tuna in olive oil. This means it’s not a cheap meal, though, as good canned tuna is expensive. When I need this to be a cheap and cheerful lunch, I use supermarket own-label tuna tinned in olive oil. You don’t have to be strict about the quantity of tuna; jars and tins vary a lot in the weight they contain. Get whatever you can find and use your judgment. Source link

Salad of roast tomatoes and fennel with preserved lemon
This is Moroccan-inspired and very good with roast lamb or spicy barbecued mackerel. If you want to have it on its own, yogurt or labneh are good alongside and, of course, flatbread or couscous. It might seem like a hassle to roast the fennel and tomatoes separately but it does make things easier when you assemble the salad. Each element stays intact. You can use coriander or mint instead of parsley in the dressing, and extend the salad by adding fresh leaves (rocket, watercress or baby spinach). Just note that if you add leaves you’ll need to make more dressing. Source link
Meera Sodha’s vegetarian recipe for quinoa and chickpea salad with red cabbage, pomegranate and pistachios | Salad
Every now and then, something comes along in the food industry that is “better than sliced bread”, and right now I would say that thing is jarred chickpeas. Due to the way they’re processed, cooked at a lower temperature and for a shorter time, they tend to be softer than tinned and ready to eat in salads (a tinned chickpea, on the other hand, might need a five-minute boil to get to the same degree of softness). In any case, it’s safe to say that this innovation has led to an increase in my eating of chickpeas in salads, and today’s dish is a recent favourite. Quinoa and chickpea salad with red cabbage, pomegranate and pistachios This makes a light dinner or substantial lunch. Toss the chickpeas and feta through the salad at the last minute, to prevent them getting stained pink by the cabbage and pomegranate molasses. Prep 15 minCook 20 minServes 4 for lunch 175g quinoa – I use a mix of black, red and white250g red cabbage (about ½ cabbage), cored and …
Salad praise: how ice hockey’s ‘lettuce’ hair is winning over Hollywood | Men’s hair
Hair cut ideas are typically drummed up in the salon, but recently a more unconventional source of inspiration has appeared: the vegetable aisle. “Lettuce hair” is trending. A gentler take on a traditional mullet, the new salad style consists of more subtle differences in the length between the back, sides and top of the hair. Lettuce hair features a loose and often wavy top, softly tapered sides and a feathery tail that skims the back of the neck, resembling leafy greens. For the Wuthering Heights press tour, Jacob Elordi toned down his on-screen regency cut, tapering the sides but keeping the windswept top and tail, bringing to mind a head of romaine lettuce. The wavy locks of Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie could be mistaken for a curled endive, while the figure skater Ilia Malinin’s butter-lettuce locks add extra drama to the Quad God’s dizzying axels. Sportspeople such as the US skater Ilia Malinin have leaned hard into the lettuce. Photograph: Andy Cheung/Getty Images The salad style stems from the world of ice hockey, where players …
Meera Sodha’s vegan recipe for prosperity toss noodle salad | Vegetables
This Tuesday marks the start of the lunar new year and the year of the fire horse, which represents fresh opportunities, personal growth and good fortune. I, for one, am keen to usher that horse in, and to celebrate I’ll be making this noodle salad, which is a variation on one I first ate at Mandy Yin’s restaurant, Sambal Shiok. It’s a dish that’s eaten across Malaysia and Singapore, and the idea is that everyone around the table tosses the salad high into the air at the same time: the superstition goes that the higher the salad is tossed, the more luck will ensue. Come on, Nelly. Prosperity toss noodle salad Dried beancurd sticks (and pink sushi ginger) can be found in Chinese supermarkets or online. When soaked, they become like chewy thinly sliced tofu. This recipe is all in the preparation: the only cooking is frying the beancurd sticks and cashews and boiling the noodles. You’ll need a large lipped bowl or platter (big enough to serve four from) and four pairs of chopsticks. …
