From Arugula Salad with Grilled Watermelon, Pistachios, and Honey-Lime Vinaigrette to Moroccan Chicken Salad with Herbed Quinoa and Spicy Yogurt Dressing, the recipes showcase endless varieties of fresh and flavorful ingredients that will forever change the way you think about and enjoy salad.

This is a great inspirational and creative take on salads whether you want to make something different using less or many ingredients and another take of different types of dressings.

I use this is a guide either for home cooking or at work. Whatever ingredients I have on hand at work, I use these recipes to offer something different for customers, so that way they can try something new on a weekly basis. I have tried the Arugula Grilled watermelon salad for the spring and summer, grilled endive with garlic cilantro creamy dressing and the couscous taco salad, Market veggie salad, new potato salad, and the sweet potato salad so far.

These are great recipes, but somehow I adjusted the seasonings that make the salad flavorful. It just really depends on taste. This is an awesome salad cookbook. You will never go back eating the same salad again found in many restaurants and other catering companies. It is not only vegetables involved, but grains, kinds of pasta, fruits, vegetarian and a good mix of dressings and vinaigrette to go with.

Different states and countries may experience fruits and vegetables that are seasonal. It gives you an idea that variety and other possibilities of making salads are infinite. With this cookbook, it gave me new ideas on creating new salads and dressings.
