NEW! OUT NOW
Salad for Days
Salad for Days is both a seasonal reference guide and a daily roster to boost your repertoire, packed with inspiration. There’s 80 different dressings, one for each of the salads. Not sure what salad dressing mood you’re in? I’ve got you, with choose-your-salad-mood options. Spicy and funky, zippy and zesty, rich and creamy, bright and light AND bonus crunchy bits to match your salad mood.
But wait, there’s more! One you’ve picked your mood, what’s the weather like? This book has your decision making covered with the Warmer Days and Cooler Days sections.
Feeling like something refreshing and cooling on a warmer day? Try the Relaxed Chopped Salad, or the Gado Gado Platter with pantry satay sauce.
For warming and grounding on cooler days, try the Calamari and Shell Pasta Salad, classics like a Frisée or Carrot & Wild Rice Salad with Marmalade Dressing. That marmalade dressing is going to rock your world!
This is a pesco book but there’s always substitutions. Check the index in the back of the book once you know what you have in the fridge to use up and you’ll be riffing your way to a delicious salad in no time.
