Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Halve squash; remove stem and seeds. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange mushrooms on another rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast, flipping each once, until squash is caramelized and tender, 25 to 30 minutes; and mushrooms are golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and garlic. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup oil, whisking until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange escarole, radicchio, squash, mushrooms, parsley, pomegranate arils, and pepitas in a large bowl or platter. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with feta. Drizzle with 1/2 cup dressing; toss to coat. Serve with remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add corn and sugar. Blanch until tender about 6 minutes. Remove from water and plunge immediately into ice bath. When the corn is thoroughly cool, remove from ice bath. Using a large knife, remove kernels from cobs. Transfer to a large bowl. Add beans to boiling water. Blanch until tender about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove from water and plunge immediately into ice bath. When beans are thoroughly cooled, transfer to a colander to drain.
• Add wax and green beans, tomatoes, red and yellow pepper, onion, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeno to corn. Stir to combine. Add olive oil, vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a medium heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Reserve bacon fat for another use (it's delicious for pan-frying hash browns), or discard.
• Whisk together vinegar and oil in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese and chives, then season with salt and pepper.
• Toss lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon with vinaigrette; season to taste. Serve with remaining blue cheese and chives.
