The Only Salad Cookbook Worth Owning
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this book in hopes of having a real tool for eating better. So many cookbooks have a few ho-hum salad recipes here and there, and some of the other salad cookbooks I've seen have recipes that are just too elaborate for everyday cooking. This book has a broad range of interesting and tasty salads that are easy to make. You will never get bored, and your friends and guests won't either. The dressing part of each recipe makes a large amount so that you can have extra to use later (I always make half of the dressing recipe, toss the salad with just a few tablespoons, and still have a lot left over). So if you can only muster the energy to throw some lettuce in a bowl some night, you will have great leftover dressing to toss it with. Since I've been using this book, I have stopped buying bottled dressing and have even started growing my own salad greens.
These salads rock!

Whoever thought you could say that about a salad? But they do. They rock! For a niche cookbook, this one has a lot of variety in flavors. Each recipe gives lettuce alternatives, which is helpful if you live in an area that doesn't carry a large selection of lettuces. Some of the combinations are quiet unique, such as one concoction of watermelon, red onion and vinegar - sounds a little kooky, but once you taste it, it all makes perfect sense. This is a great book to try interesting and healthy new salad combinations. I hope you enjoy it.
Excellent, healthful eating

This book is wonderful. The recipes go a long ways towards helping with our ongoing effort to improve our eating habits and watch our weight, while still enjoying good food. Every salad I have made has been excellent. There is a large variety - side salads and main dish salads, substitutions are easily accomodated, and the author even has suggestions for alternative uses for left over dressing. One of my most used cookbooks.
More than great recipes, learn how to create your own.

Found this book at the library, and have to own it! Includes useful charts so you can substitute available greens for those called for in the recipe. Eat your greens, they are good for you, and with this book you can make them delicious!

After borrowing this book from the library...I can't wait to go home to try out the recipes...wasn't disappointed. Now I plan to order 3 copies of this book. One to keep, one for my sister and another for my brother.. all of whom are watching our diets.
