Product Description:
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.

Rating:  - Venturing beyond the traditional Iceberg lettuce ..
I bought this book because two of my Amazon friends (and a suite of other reviewers) have recommended it so highly. I'm glad that I did so: there are a number of combinations I would not have thought of for myself and some suggestions that I will adopt or adapt to my own taste.
I know that many of the dressings will be too sweet for my taste so, if I'm preparing a salad for myself I'll bypass the dressing. If I was preparing this for others, I would simply remove my portion before ... Read More
Rating: - Like salads? You'll like this!
I want to thank one of my Amazon Friends for bringing this book to my attention. Salads can actually be "meals-in-themselves," and this book provides a few examples of that. Sometimes, when I'm fixing a meal just for myself, I make a hearty salad to do the trick.
This book has an interesting premise. The author, Jennifer Chandler, begins by saying (Page vii): "Packaged salad blends have changed the way I enjoy salads. With all the varieties of greens now available at the grocery store, ... Read More
Rating: - What a wonderful world--of lettuce and mangoes and black olives and SALADS!
I love an exotic salad. I collect specialty cookbooks. Ergo, "Simply Salads" is now an integral part of my collection.
Not without good reason! Right on the cover, Jennifer Chandler announces that her cookbook contains "more than 100 delicious creative recipes made from prepackaged greens and a few easy-to-find ingredients." My goodness, who could ask for more, but I did. I wanted proof. Let's walk through the book. (When I get a new cookbook, I start at the beginning and leaf through every ... Read More
Rating:  - No Nutritional Info
I ordered this book because my husband wants to eat more salads and less carbs. However, he is very particular about sugar content in his food. None of the recipes listed in this book have any information whatsoever about nutritional content -- not calories, proteins, carbs, fats, sodium, nothing. Very disappointed that that kind of information was not included.
Rating: - EXCELLENT
I love this book!! Beautiful large pictures of every salad. The salads are stunning and yet easy to put together. Every salad looks gourmet but is very simple to prepare. I could sit and look through the photographs for hours. I've tried many of the recipes and they are all wonderful. This is one of my favorite cookbooks for the easy & healthy recipes and beautiful photography.
