5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, quick chapters separating dressings by vinaigrettes, November 11, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Finally: a guide to salad dressing which provides easy, quick chapters separating dressings by vinaigrettes, creamy and low-fat dressings and which packs in a wide variety of toppings, from the classic Blue Cheese and Caesar to Maple Thyme Vinaigrette and Creamy Lemon Yogurt. No color photos in Salad Dressing 101, but these very simple dressing recipes don't really need anything more than a blender for 2-minute productions that would enhance any salad dining occasion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for salad ideas, July 20, 2008

By	Blake Johnson (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really like this book as it has given me several ideas to make my own dressing. My partner had a heart attack about 4 months ago and we both love to eat salads on a daily basis. Finding good dressings that had healthy fats and lower in calories is hard, especially if you like to try a wide variety of dressings. This book (along with my local olive oil and vinegar store) have been a wealth of information in making new and interesting dressings that are healthy and delicious!

Happy eating!

By	Tara (Boston) - See all my reviews

I received this recipe book a few weeks ago; haven't made any yet but I've read through all of the vinaigrette recipes (my favorite) and they look fantastic, I can't wait to try them! This book is just what I was looking for.
