If you prefer a meat-free meal, just leave the chicken breast out—this hearty salad is plenty filling without it. The chickpeas can be prepared ahead and stored in an airtight container with a paper towel at the bottom.

Cathy Drabkin, who operates a home bakery in Hays, Kansas, adapted this low-key dough from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Minnesotans Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François. The recipe is for an all-white dough shaped into round boules but you can create specialty loaves by adding whole-grain flours, seeds or fruit and shaping the loaves differently.

Chef Sarah Russo's Smoky Squash Salad packs flavor and texture punch, and it's a delicious way to explore an alternative, plant-based protein. Look for blocks of tempeh in the produce or health food section of the supermarket, near the tofu.
