A generous amount of juicy salad greens, canned beans, vegetables, and eggs—a great combination for a large dinner salad. But don't let the word "salad" or the prospect of feeling hungry in an hour scare you off. This salad is filling enough for dinner without being heavy. It's healthy, delicious, and combines the varied textures of juicy salad greens, crisp celery, tender hard-boiled eggs, soft white beans, and turnips simmered in fragrant butter. And fragrant tarragon imbues it with a unique aroma.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the eggs and turnips in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs, but keep the turnips in the hot water, covered, until cooked through, another 2-3 minutes. Peel the eggs and cut each into quarters.
Step 2
• Drain the turnips, then return them to the warm pan and toss with the butter (if necessary, turn on the stove to melt the butter). Add the tarragon, chives, olive oil, and lemon juice and toss to combine.
Step 3
• In a large bowl, combine the endive, lettuce, escarole, celery, and beans; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the eggs and turnips and gently mix again.
