&ldquo;Salads get a bad rap because people think, &lsquo;Ugh, it&rsquo;s just lettuce and dressing,&rsquo; &rdquo; says chef Edward Lee of 610 Magnolia in Louisville, Kentucky. &ldquo;But salads can be a mix of sweet and savory ingredients, like corn and blueberries.&rdquo; Lee makes this salad once a week in the summer when corn and berries are at their peak. Slideshow: More Salad RecipesRecipe from Food & Wine Chefs' Easy Weeknight Dinners.
