Steps:
- Boil water in a large pan with a steamer attachment and fill a large bowl with ice-cold water. Steam the green beans for 3-4 mins, the courgettes for 2-3 mins, and the peas for 2 mins, until everything is just tender. (If you don't have a steamer, just boil the vegetables in boiling salted water for the same times as above.) After cooking, immediately plunge vegetables into the ice-cold water to cool quickly, drain, then pat dry with kitchen paper.
- For the dressing, whisk together the oil and lemon juice, stir in the parsley, mint and chives, then season. Take the dressing and vegetables to the picnic in separate containers, then toss gently together to serve.

LEMON-GARLIC VINAIGRETTE
While a 1-to-2 acid-to-oil ratio is common for vinaigrette, shifting it to 1-to-1½ yields a dressing with a brighter flavor and fewer calories. That means for every ½ cup of acid, such as vinegar or lemon juice, use 3/4 cup of oil. Here's a good all-purpose take on the formula.

LEMON GARLIC SALAD DRESSING (WITH VARIATIONS)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Peel and mince the garlic (you can use a garlic press if you like; presses tend to bring out the bitterness in garlic, but some people don't seem to notice it).
- If you're making a salad in the next few hours, put the garlic in a large salad bowl. (If you're making the dressing ahead of time, put the garlic in a sealable jar.)
- Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and mustard. Whisk to combine everything (or seal and shake the jar).
- Whisk in the olive oil (or, again, seal the jar and shake it vigorously).
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too zingy for you, feel free to add more olive oil to soften the flavor. A bit more salt will help temper the acid kick, too.
- Use the vinaigrette-style dressing immediately. If you've made the dressing in the salad bowl, just add the greens to that big bowl and toss.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop hearty greens into water and blanch for 4 minutes. Immediately plunge blanched greens into a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking. Drain, squeeze dry, and set aside.
- Heat oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until the garlic is golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove garlic from skillet; set aside.
- Raise heat to high. Add hearty greens and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add spinach; season with salt and red pepper flakes to taste. Cook until spinach wilts, stirring frequently (about a minute). Return garlic to pan and stir. The greens can be served immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Set up your grill for even medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the coals evenly. If using a gas grill, heat both sides evenly.
- In a small saucepan set on the grill, melt the butter with the clove of smashed garlic. Remove the garlic.
- Place the torn baguette in a mixing bowl and pour the melted garlic butter over the top. Toss to coat the bread and season with salt and pepper. Put the croutons in a cast-iron pan and place on the grill. Cover the grill and bake until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a mason jar, add the lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, anchovies, Dijon and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and vigorously shake to combine.
- Remove the croutons from the grill and set aside. Brush the kale leaves and the cut side of the endive and escarole with some of the lemon vinaigrette. Place on the grill, cut-side down, and char for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the grill, slice into bite-sized pieces and put in a large serving bowl. Add the croutons and chives and dress with the remainder of the vinaigrette. Add Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve.
GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE
Grab-and-go offerings of picnicky food are almost universally mediocre and exasperatingly expensive. Resist the temptation to outsource and make your own. This recipe is built to last. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, or leave it out on the counter if you're going to eat these green beans within a few hours of making it.

Steps:
- Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)
