Product Description

Over eighty delectable recipes.

Salads can be so much more than a side dish.

Elevating salads to their rightful place as stylish, healthy, satisfying dishes, The Well-Dressed Salad offers more than eighty recipes exploring exciting textures and zingy flavors.

As well as putting a fresh spin on classic salads, such as Caesar salad, the book brings together unusual salad dishes from around the world where salads are an art form: the Mediterranean, North Africa, Asia and South America.

Each recipe is accompanied by: - Advice on possible variations - Serving ideas and advance preparation - Classification of each salad as an appetizer, main course or side dish - Recipes for tasty dressings and vinaigrettes - Tips on choosing and using ingredients.

Each recipe has been tested twice to guarantee a stunning success every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars a salad lover, November 9, 2005

By	Samatha Parker "Sam" (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews

I have now made my 12th recipe from this book and it is wonderful. My husband and I love to eat big salads for dinner and this is perfect for just that. It has all the great classics but much more. My favorites are the spinach salad with warm proscuitto dressing and the Middle Eastern Fattoush salad with crispy pitas. All of the salads have full on flavour and are healthy to boot! I would highly recommend this.
