Mollie Katzen has given vegetarian cooking style and pizzazz, and this Salad book is no exception. Her new book presents salads and antipastos as a main meal using fruits, vegetables, beans, cheeses, nuts, pastas, oils, and herbs. Mollie emphasizes freshness and educates on less common greens and veggies. She also has recipes for Tofu Mayonnaise and Homemade Croutons. The presentation is illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings and sprinkled with useful tips.

You will definitely be able to find a salad to serve and eat in this book! I have used her recipes over the years and they don't disappoint. Highly recommend! Other favorite books are: The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without and THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams

This is an excellent book that is just about salads that are nutritious and easy to put together. As the author of the Moosewood Cookbook, Katzen has crafted a usable book (sits up on the counter so you can read it without getting it dirty) and one in which really interesting recipes are included. Well worth having as a staple in your kitchen.

I bought this a gift, and the recipient really loved it. She said she uses it all the time, and loves the recipes.

This summer is more bearable when I utilize these recipes for salads. I already had a list of regular salads I made, but this cookbook took me outside that small list and opened up my salad making. What a great book of fun to eat salads! Too little attention is often paid to the contents of a salad. This changes that and tempts your palate! Quality recipes for a frugal price. Everyone can afford this cookbook.
