All About Salads

Whether as an appetizer or a main course, salad has never been more popular. Illustrating how much more there is to salad than a few leaves on a plate, this is an extraordinary collection of salad recipes organized by type--tossed, green, garnished, warm, vegetable and fruit, potato, cole slaw, bean, rice, pasta, and grain. Among these irresistible classics and exciting innovations are Thai Beef Salad; Grilled Swordfish, Tangerine, and Jicama Salad; Tomato and Mozzarella Salad; and Quinoa Salad with Pine Nuts and Raisins. Also covered are a full range of salad dressings from the Basic Vinaigrette to the creamy Green Goddess Dressing. With a complete primer on the varieties of lettuce and a guide to creative serving suggestions, this latest addition to the wonderful All About... series upholds the traditions of excellence and ease of use that has made Joy of Cooking America's favorite cookbook for more than sixty years. Featuring more than 100 gorgeous, full-color photographs specially commissioned for this volume, this spectacular book brings salads and dressing to their full, bountiful best.
