Couldn't sleep due to heat so I mulled over the topic. Couple things came to mind.
Along the updating old line, David Lebovitz recently posted a green bean, lettuce, and pea salad with that classic - Ranch dressing - but homemade with buttermilk and fresh herbs. https://www.davidlebovitz.com/summer-green-salad-with-peas-green-beans-and-buttermilk-ranch-dressing-recipe/
Slipping into the slippery texture of gelatin I thought of Kenji's shirataki sesame noodle salad with cucumber, chile oil, and crunchy bits. I've not made it yet but do enjoy those noodles so it is in the queue. https://www.seriouseats.com/2015/02/how-to-cook-with-shirataki-noodles.html
