While usually the more green veggies the better, for a hefty holiday feast this Thanksgiving, you’ll want to hold the Caesar salad from the family dinner table.
The greens have been traced to California’s Salinas Valley growing region. If you’re not sure where your salad was grown, or if it isn’t labeled, "don’t eat it, and throw it away,” the agency advises.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the news comes as a lettuce letdown, but fortunately it doesn’t mean you need to skip out on salad altogether. There are plenty of delicious recipes to fill your bowl that don’t require one single romaine leaf.
Here, find everything from Brussels sprouts Caesar to an arugula salad from Vedge chef Rich Landau to multiple kale- and spinach-based dishes, all involving easy-to-find ingredients that will ensure a healthful, food-poisoning-free holiday.
Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-large kabocha squash, peeled and cubed (could also sub 1 butternut or 2 acorn squash)
- 2 shallots, sliced into semi-circles
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice
- 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided in half
- Salt and pepper, to season
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 packed cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tbsp warm water, optional
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas (opt for ones with salt), drained
- 1/2 bunch of lacinato kale, stems removed, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place squash and shallots on foil, and toss with allspice and 1.5 Tbsp. of olive oil until lightly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake 30 minutes, or until squash is fork tender. While squash is baking, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cilantro and pinch of salt and pepper. Mixture should thicken somewhere between a dressing and a paste. If thinner consistency is desired, whisk in a little warm water.
- Use hands to massage kale with remaining 1.5 Tbsp. olive oil.
- Once squash is tender, remove from oven. Add chickpeas to the pan and toss. Place kale at the bottom of a large dish. Spread squash and chickpeas atop. Drizzle tahini sauce on top. Check seasoning, and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Serve.

Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp sliced almonds
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Dash of kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (12-oz) pkg shaved fresh Brussels sprouts
Instructions:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sliced almonds, and cook 4 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Combine lemon juice, pepper, kosher salt, and chopped garlic in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes.

Makes 3 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
- 1 (16 oz) pkg baby arugula
- 1/4 cup oil-cured olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the first four ingredients together, and set aside. Since arugula is a delicate green, the dressing should not be too thick. If it appears too thick, then add a few drops of cold water to think the dressing appropriately.
- Add the red onion to a salad bowl. Roughly chop the olives and add them to the salad bowl.
- Just prior to serving, add the greens to the onions and olives, and toss with the dressing.

Makes 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 baking apples (those that retain their structure when baked like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Pinklady, etc.)
- 2 fennel bulbs with fronds
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 handful mint leaves
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2cup hazelnuts, toasted, peeled and chopped
- 4 oz fresh goat cheese, crumbled (crumbled mild blue cheese would be delicious as well)
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425*F. Cut the fennel bulbs into 1-inch wedges, reserving the fennel fronds for finishing the salad. Cut the apples into similarly sized wedges. Spread the fennel on one parchment-lined sheet pan, and spread the apple on another. Drizzle both generously with olive oil, and season with salt, freshly cracked black peppers, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Roast the apple pan for 15 to 20 minutes, and roast the fennel pan for ~30 minutes, flipping each halfway through, until all are caramelized, golden brown, and tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on sheet pans.
- Meanwhile, prep mint leaves and fennel fronds. Slice scallions. Toast, peel and, chop hazelnuts. Crumble goat cheese.
- To finish the dish, carefully layer the roasted apples, roasted fennel, mint leaves, fennel fronds, sliced scallions, toasted hazelnuts and crumbled goat cheese on several layers on a shallow serving platter. Zest over 1 lemon and shower the whole thing with lemon juice and a drizzle of best quality extra virgin olive oil.

Makes 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 12 small beets
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Put the beets in a medium baking dish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and rub to coat the beets. Cover with foil and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the beets are tender. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and quarter them.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cover the onion slices with the vinegar. Add a large pinch of salt and mix well. Let stand for about 1 hour.
- Using a sharp knife, peel the tangerines and grapefruit, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections.
