OK, so when I picked this book up, I thought "an entire book about salad? That's ridiculous." I've made six recipes for salad from this cookbook, and every single one of them has been utterly delicious, and completely different! Honestly, I didn't expect such a wide variety of salad ingredients and dressings. My favorite so far is a sort of gazpacho - tomato salad with home-made bread croutons - they suggest serving it with shredded chicken breast as a dinner salad and my kids have asked me to make it over and over again. (my KIDS, 11 and 13! Can't believe it!). The book also has delicious appetizer-type salads as well! If you're looking for some nice summery cool recipes, this is the book for you. Fabulous.

wether its chicken, fish, or even fruit, as long as you can make it into a salad you will find it in this very useful book. I loved the fruit salad section which is a A+ for this book because most salad books don't include them

Purchased as Christmas present for my daughter's boy friend. He seemed to like it, since he is quite a cook. I really can't say much, other than it was appreciated by the person who received it. The format is nice, in that it easily lies open on the counter for quick reference.

I received this salad recipe book as a gift last winter. I used it all summer with great results. The recipes were easy to follow, each had a great picture, and for the most part the ingredients were easy to find or I had them on hand in my own pantry. I have had friends ask me for recipes and both of my daughters wanted the book for their own, hence the purchase from Amazon. I highly recommend the recipes as a healthier and different way to eat salads.

This book sits on my kitchen counter. I use it that much. Recipes are simple, ingredients are easy to purchase, and everything is yummy. Nice twist to your ordinary salads.
