Once upon a time, salad meant lettuce, tomato, and cucumber covered in Thousand Island dressing. Today its succulent fish, seasoned meat, crispy tofu, herb pasta, and anything else you want to toss together in a saladlike way. In A Good Day for Salad , Jeannette Ferrary and Louise Fiszer get creative, offering an intriguing array of starter salads, dinner salads, party salads, picnic salads, and dessert salads, as well as classics and ingenious new takes on old favorites. Here are 150 salads to delight the gourmand, the health nut, the dieter, the vegetarian, hurriers, worriers, and even people who hate to cook. Complete with helpful cooking tips and entertaining anecdotes, A Good Day for Salad is a celebration of the contemporary salad and a tasty answer to just about any mealtime dilemma.
LOTS of good ideas for salads used as side dishes, main dishes, and appetizers. Many less- than-common ingredients, but nothing so challenging that it isn't doable by an average cook. Recipes are written in an odd list format, followed by dressings, so they can be a bit confusing, and there are no illustrations, but otherwise this book definitely fills a niche, and does it well.
