This has got to be one of the best salad cookbooks ever. The photos are so beautiful that you want to make everything you see. So far I've made 3 of the salads and they were all delicious, healthy, and low in fat. A perfect combo. I immediately purchased a second one to send to my daughter. Great job Cooking Light.

I love salad and homemade salad dressings, and this book offers tons of recipes for both!!!!! Excellent, delicious and healthy recipes that are not too time consuming. Very good salad dressing recipes as well. This book provides recipes for almost any type of salad you can imagine. Excellent book and great addition to my recipe book collection. Love it!

This book is beautifully composed. The layout of the book is comfortable with many pictures. Although there are many, many recipes there wasn't one that I've made that my family has gone crazy for. I did have to take a trip to Whole Foods to pick up some of the grains needed for the recipes.

A lot of different salad recipes and great variety of dressings. I would recommend this to anyone liking salads. Recipes include salads with no meat or all kinds of meat, including pork, seafood, poultry and seafood.

I am sooo glad that I procured this book. I am a very experienced cook, self-taught! I love this book because it used unusual ingredients and items that you don't always think belong in a salad. I will be using this resource for years to come, because it is modern in its premise.
