Wiley Mullins has brought us a unique and fresh perspective on something most everyone enjoys...salad. These are not ordinary salads, however, many of them are meals in themselves. This book provides great flavor combinations and pairings, alternative protein selections, modern health information and different vinaigrettes for each offering. Wiley also takes the seasonality of ingredients into account which is so refreshing and important. The recipes are simple to follow and the book itself is extremely well-done... perfect for the entire spectrum of cooks. Forget about fad diets and follow this book for a while and your life with most definitely change for the better.
