Rating:  - Simply Salads Book
This is a great salad book. I bought one for my wife as I needed to cut down on calories and I've been rewarded with wonderful meals. I've sense bought 4 more as gifts, all well received and am about to buy more for gifts to friends.

This book is everything I had hoped for and more. I am always looking for simple, but different salads for my family and this book is it. There is a wide variety of combinations and the best part is that there are recipes for salad dressing for each salad. Very simple ones! Bagged lettuce is the main ingredient for the salads and there are so many options. You can mix and match some of the elements also as far as meats or seafood and there are beautiful pictures of each and every salad. There is also a note on how many side salads or dinner salads each recipe will make. I would recommend this book to anyone that has ever thought..........what kind of salad can I make? Superb!! and AAAAAAAAAAAA+

Rating: - Great recipes, easy to make from simple ingredients
I thoroughly enjoy the recipes in this cook book. Jennifer uses package salad greens that are easily found at any grocery store. The other ingredients are easy to find vinegars, oils and juices. I have made several salads and have enjoyed each one. My favorite thing about these recipes is that they are all quick to put together. Anyone looking for restaurant quality salads that are quick and inexpensive to make will love this book.

"Simply Salads" is a book full of great salad recipes. I was hesitant to buy the book at first since the recipes used prepackaged greens. I have never, ever seen prepackaged greens that look very fresh, certainly not as fresh as what I see in the photographs (which are excellent -- lots of great pictures). I just decided to buy the greens fresh and make the salads by mixing the greens myself. I'm glad I did, and I found that Ms. Chandler had added the complete list of ingredients for each type of prepackaged green in the front of the book, which helped a lot. It was easy to make substitutions in various recipes. For instance, for the "Mandarin Orange Slaw" (which is delicious) I used fresh satsuma orange slices and fresh juice instead of the canned mandarin oranges and canned juice. I bought the greens that make up the Italian Blend and mixed them for the "Cheese Tortellini Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinagrette" -- it was fantastic. This book is full of great recipes, and you can change them to suit your own tastes as I did. I would love to know, however, where the author finds those beautiful packaged greens... I wish we had them as nice as that in our stores! If you do have access to such things you will be able to make the salads very quickly, but I did not find it took that much time to do it from fresh, individual bunches of greens.
