Iceberg Wedges with Grilled Bacon and Croutons

Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.

Just like the state fair, minus the crowds.

This towering salad—built with the components of a muffuletta sandwich like mortadella and an olive dressing—is ready for a party.

A bed of charred cabbage speckled with chopped giardiniera makes the perfect landing place of sweet Italian sausages and plenty of basil.

Charred chicken breasts coated in a tangy dry rub sit atop a fresh salad of tomatoes, cucumber, and onions.

This crunchy, creamy salad has everything you want for a cookout.

Roasted cabbage wedges get cloaked in a salty-sweet glaze of maple syrup and Dijon mustard before getting topped with crunchy bacon.

Crisp winter greens and tender slices of steak get the restaurant treatment with a punchy peppercorn dressing, crisp bacon bits, chives, and blue cheese.
