Book Reviews of Simply Salads: More than 100 Delicious Creative Recipes Made from Prepackaged Greens and a Few Easy-to-Find Ingredients

Book Review: Simply Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you're looking for a book to help you with your diet, Simply Salads is a simply wonderful collection of the best salads on the face of the planet. I too enjoy preparing salads from scratch, creating from the bottom of the bowl up, causing me to nearly walk on past this book. Glad I didn't!

Even my meat-loving family members love these salads, as long as I put a hunk of meat by their greens. I prefer to skip the meat most meals, as it seems to me we Americans eat way too much of it, adding inches to our waistlines and challenging our hearts. So I haven't tried any salads with meat or poultry. However, I can assure you there are plenty of fabulous recipes for vegetarians and flexitarians, probably enough to enjoy a different salad every day for at least a couple months.

Using prepackaged greens will save you some money, as it can be a little difficult to enjoy several different kinds before their freshness begins to deteriorate. Some of our local grocery stores don't carry all the packaged produce, so I just chop my own red cabbage or angelhair slaw. Whether you like to chop or prefer to cut and pour, this is a book no healthy kitchen should be without.

Summary of Simply Salads: More than 100 Delicious Creative Recipes Made from Prepackaged Greens and a Few Easy-to-Find Ingredients

Long gone are the days when people created their salads by purchasing a head of iceberg lettuce and a head or romaine, cutting up a tomato and a boiled egg and adding some wishbone dressing. Today anyone can create a delicious gourmet salad by picking up one of the hundreds of bagged salad mixes available and adding ingredients to create masterpieces such as:

  • Mandarin Chicken Salad with Toasted Sesame Vinaigrette
  • Classic Caesar Salad with Herb Croutons
  • Spinach Salad with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Each salad has dressing recommendations and recipes, menu ideas, and nutritional information. The book contains recipes for more than 100 salads and dressings.
