Tossed: 200 Fast, Fresh, and Fabulous Salads

by Jane Lawson

Tossed perfectly reflects the cooking style favored by young people today—fresh, healthful, packed with flavor, and simple to toss together. Beginning with a basic primer on preparing a salad, author Katy Holder then leads the reader through hearty winter salads; pasta and grain salads; main dishes celebrating the height of summer’s fresh produce; tasty seafood creations; and colorful, fruity salads. More than 200 recipes provide cool or warm solutions for every meal of every season. Venturing far beyond simple leafy accompaniments, Tossed celebrates lightened and hipper interpretations of the one-pot meal such as Seared Tuna and White Bean Salad; Watercress, Feta and Watermelon Salad; Beef Teriyaki with Cucumber Salad; Warm Lentil and Rice Salad; and Thai Noodle Salad. Enlivened by a funky, retro design, with color photographs throughout, this user-friendly cookbook is a stylish addition to any contemporary kitchen.
