If you enjoy salads as much as I do, you will be very pleased with this cookbook. It gives a wide variety of salads made with common ingredients that will expand your options when thinking of this course of the meal.

With chapters on Leafy Salads; Vegetable Salads & Slaws; Grain & Bean Salads; Pasta & Bread Salads; Tofu & Tempeh Salads; Fish & Seafood Salads; and Meat Salads, the book could not be any more inclusive.

I appreciate that in the leafy salad section, she also provides recipes for a salad dressing to compliment the salad.

My thanks to Rockridge Press for allowing me to read an ARC of this book with no strings attached. My review is voluntary, unbiased and truly reflects my thoughts on this book.

This is such a fun cookbook! I am such a picky eater, so cookbooks are usually something that I skim through to see if I can at least snag one new idea. I really loved that this one starts with pantry staples to have on hand, and the "eating seasonally" chart is wonderful for fans of buying local from farmers markets!

From this collection, I snagged a few new things my husband and I marked to try:
- Crispy Brussel Sprouts Salad
- Italian Sub Salad
- Steakhouse-Style Grilled Romaine Wedge Caesar Salad
- Elegant Brunch Snap Peas and Soft-Boiled Egg
- Brussels Sprouts Slaw
- Crispy Chickpea Caesar Salad

I can't wait to dive into each of these!

Callisto Media/Rockridge Press was kind enough to send me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.

I love salads - I eat them 365 days a year as I can put them together without screwing up the cooking method ... I am such a bad cook.

I am requesting these cookbooks from Calisto as I want to learn to cook!

I am bored of the salads I make so this book is amazing as there are so many great combinations of ingredients and flavours. I cannot wait for our CSA box today to start making magic with our rapini greens!

Lots of Salads

This is an interesting book. There are lots of different types of salads with the recipes for the salad dressing. I am very interested in the salad dressing made with Mascarpone cheese. It sounded like a great salad dressing for lots of different salads. There is chicken, beef, seafood, and even Tofu.
