Recipe: Candied Walnut–Apple Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
We love Thanksgiving just as much as anyone. But with the holiday comes the specter of refrigerators bulging with persistent, heavy leftovers. It's enough to make us preemptively scramble for lighter fare.
This simple but flavorful salad comes from some folks who know a thing or two about the perils of gluttony: the team from Jack Stack, a family of barbecue restaurants in the Kansas City area. It's a classic mix of arugula, puckery Granny Smith apples, raw red onions, and blue cheese—and a welcome bit of relief from those towering platters of succulent, hickory-smoked 'cue and burnt ends.

Recipe: Brown Butter Cake with Caramelized Apples and Sour Beer Caramel
Yes, this week is all about pie, but this autumnal dessert from Sarah Jordan, who makes desserts at Chicago's popular GT Fish & Oyster, demands a little attention, too. Jordan coats apples in a caramel that's flavored with sour beer, a style known for its tart, fruity character. Get the recipe here.
Market Haul: October 31
This week’s haul is a cornucopia of greens: broccoli, broccoli rabe, escarole, collards. To avoid getting overwhelmed, it’s never a bad idea to wash and blanch your greens all at once so they’re ready to go throughout the week. For those of you haven’t tried Japanese salad turnips, they’re sweet and juicy and absolutely delicious eaten raw in salads or quickly braised, as in the recipe below. Eat their tops as you would any greens—we’re partial to a simple sauté with olive oil and garlic.
The Haul: Sweet potatoes, broccoli rabe, escarole, salad turnips, collard greens, broccoli, and Mutsu and Cameo apples
