Title: For those who appreciate good quality ingredients and choices
Review: The heart beat of this book is simple salads and tasty healthful dressings. Finding many excellent recipes in it as well for favorite dressings that can now be made at home, using organic ingredients and preferred oils. If youâre disillusioned with commercial brands being chalk full of soybean oil and sub par ingredients, this books for you.

Title: Made me interested in the genre
Review: A lot more than a book about a bunch of greens with some dressing. The book really turns salads and vegetables (forgive the redundancy) into interesting and often substantial delicious plates of food. The format, which suggests ways to integrate certain dressings into a variety of foods (like b.spouts and beef and chicken), is interesting and easy. A lot of easily accessed unusual spices and herbs are helpful. Salads are not my favorite food. This book has a shot at changing my mind.

Title: Gets you out of that salad rut
Review: The writing and overall design of this book is quite nice. It may look a bit destined for the bargain shelf, but it's much more than just pretty pictures. The recipes are thoughtful and are bound to have you craving veggies. This would be especially helpful to gardeners, who are inevitably expected to bring salads to gatherings and need new ways to dress up their bounty. So it seems a great Xmas gift for those gardeners on your list--it may get them excited to plant new things in the spring. Many of the recipes pay homage to the popular trends of the last few years (the books of Ottolenghi, David Chang, Chez Panisse alums, etc), making it a nice slim volume to pull off the shelf and know that the flavors will be interesting and current. The traditional recipe layouts would be nice for beginner cooks or people who want to add more veg to their diets but don't know where to begin. Thumbs up!

Review: In questo piccolo volume Dawn Yanagihara ci mostra come variare e abbinare i condimenti per l'insalata, per farne un piatto unico o un contorno gourmet. Il libro è diviso in capitoli a seconda del tipo di condimento (delicato, saporito, intenso...), e ognuno presenta all'inizio una serie di condimenti, e poi qualche proposta di insalata completa che li utilizza. Ogni ricetta include anche i suggeriemnti per gli abbinamenti, sia con insalata a foglia, sia con altre verdure, crude o cotte, dando veramente molti spunti per personalizzare le insalate (intese nel senso più ampio del termine).Gli ingredienti vanno dai più comuni per le vinaigrette - olio di oliva, aceto balsamico - alla senape, paprika, a quelli più originali, quali miso, carote tritate, cipolle grigliate. Tutte le ricette sono molto semplici, è sufficiente avere a disposizione un frullatore a immersione e a volte semplicemente un contenitore ermetico per shakerare gli ingredienti.L'ultimo capitolo è dedicato alle cose da aggiungere all'insalata, dai semplici crostini ai semi misti tostati.Come tutti i libri editi da Chronicle Books, la veste grafica e i materiali sono molto curati, al pari del contenuto.Le ricette che ho provato hanno soddisfatto pienamente le aspettative, dalla vinaigrette al miso, arancia e sesamo a quella di carote e zenzero; la quantità della ricetta mi è bastata per almeno 2 volte per tre persone e l'avanzo si è conservato bene in frigorifero pronto per quando avevo più fretta. Consigliato se sapete l'inglese.
