Whether it's grilled chicken over romaine lettuce tossed in a garlicky Caesar dressing, or roasted vegetables over greens, or tuna with crunchy vegetables, salad is a cook's quickest, coolest option for a complete meal. Chesman includes scores of healthful possibilities, from Warm Asparagus and New Potato Salad with Pan-Seared Trout to Vietnamese Beef Salad, plus a host of dressings, from Buttermilk-Dill to Mango Chutney Vinaigrette.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Prolific cookbook author Chesman offers a lively collection of main-dish salads for both light and heartier meals. When ripe tomatoes or fresh peas are not available, she turns to sturdier vegetables and beans and grains for inspiration. There's Thai-Style Crab and Asparagus Salad for spring and Tomato Salad with Corn for the height of summer, Turkey Salad with Wild Rice and Apples for autumn, and Warm Lentil Salad with Roasted Onions for cold winter months. Chesman offers a change of pace for supper; recommended. [A selection of BOMC's The Good Cook.]

Fabulous Summer Meals!,
By FannyFarmer (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Salad Suppers: Fresh Inspirations for Satisfying One-Dish Meals (Paperback)
This is my favorite summertime cookbook. When the weather turns warm and the garden is in full swing, this is the book to have. Every recipe I've made from this book has been excellent. There are delicious combinations and helpful comments throughout. The recipes are not difficult and feature many common, easy-to-find ingredients. I also love the lighthearted sketches. WE LOVE Salad Suppers!!ps-and don't worry, not every salad is "lettuce-based". Many include beans, rice, pasta, and cabbages.
5.0 out of 5 stars
