Chopped, tossed, shredded, composed—salads are versatile in both form and flavor. They’re an appealing and healthy way to showcase favorite seasonal produce. From light starters to protein-rich main course salads to palate–cleansing accompaniments, these much-loved adaptable dishes can play a delicious role in virtually every lunch or dinner, every day of the year. This is a revised and revamped edition of Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day—the bestselling 2012 title, including new images and over 90 new recipes.
Williams-Sonoma Salad of the Day is a calendar-style cookbook that offers 365 enticing salads suited for any meal, occasion, or mood. Vibrant, fresh, and extremely versatile, salads are the ultimate expression of the changing seasons—and make a fantastic meal or side dish any day of the year.
New recipes include Warm Gigante Bean Salad with Herb-Roasted Red Onions & Wilted Greens; Crispy Kale & Brussels Sprouts Salad with Anchovies, Parmesan Crisps & Fried Egg; Grilled Calamari Salad with Padron Peppers & Green Harissa; Herb-Grilled Lamb & Grilled Green Onion Salad; Crispy Eggplant, Miso Butter & Charred Sungold Tomato Salad; Carrot and Medjool Date Salad with Creamy Gorgonzola Dressing; Nopales and Hominy Salad with Skewered Pork and Pepper Kebobs; Black Olive and Calamari Salad with Parsley and Mint Vinaigrette; Fresh Horseradish Salmon Cakes on Wilted Greens, and more.
Capture the essence of spring with a pasta salad featuring sugar snap peas and slender asparagus, or a seared salmon salad with pea shoots and watercress.
Savor the flavors of summer with juicy ripe tomatoes and sweet corn kernels tossed with piquant blue cheese, or grilled summer squash on a bed of herbed rice.
In autumn, enjoy a warm wild mushroom salad dressed in bacon vinaigrette, or tender chicken salad with crisp apples and toasted walnuts.
During the winter, pair bright citrus fruits with skirt steak and peppery arugula, or earthy roasted beets and soft farmer cheese.
Each recipe includes a complementary dressing recommendations or recipes, and helpful notes offer serving and substitution ideas. With this abundance of recipes as your guide, and the garden’s yield as your inspiration, you’re sure to find an appealing salad that fits the occasion, no matter what the day brings.

Title: Endless Selection of Salads
Review: When Iâm feeling stymied for dinner ideas, I turn to the Salad of the Day book and find something appealing. Frequently I can make the recipes with items I already have on hand. Each of the recipes Iâve tried so far has been easy and delicious. There is actually a recipe for every day of the year, and many utilize seasonal ingredients. Tomorrowâs salad use fresh peaches, which are luscious right now. Later this week, a fresh fig recipe is featured. A beautiful full color photograph is included every few pages. Really, my only criticism is that the servings indicated donât indicate whether itâs a side salad or a main course salad. The recipes generally suit us as a one-course dinner since weâre eating lighter dinners these days.

Title: Love the Variety
Review: If you need to step up your salad game, this book is for you. There is amazing variety; it will be hard to think of salads as boring after working your way through this book. Four stars instead of five because I I think it's missing a few organizational lists and tables: a stock-your-pantry list of vinegars and when to use which. Salad greens 101, including tips for storage would have been nice too. Even with those omissions, this book is still wonderful.

Title: Very nice book
Review: This book is very nice. The hardcover is well made, the photos are beautiful, and the variety of salads is fantastic. I love that it has a salad suggestion each day of the month. The only drawback for me is that I like a photo for each recipe, because I like to see what I am going to eat before I decide to make it. It doesn't have that, but it doesn't take away from how useful this book is. Highly recommend.

Title: Kindle is NOT most recent edition
Review: I love this cookbook in both hardcopy and kindle forms.... HOWEVER the kindle version is NOT the most recent edition, it is from 2015 not 2016. You can see the difference in the covers and some recipes are different. I own both, just purchased both this week, and honestly I like that they have slightly different recipes. In the month of January alone there are a number of different salads. It seems like they swapped out some of the recipes. I wish they would have given me the most recent edition in kindle but the flip side is that i have some additional recipes that are not in my hard copy and I love them...like the Jan 28 recipe... I will attach photos to show some differences in recipes. As you can see the January 10 and jan 28 recipe is different, if you look at the table of contents i posted from hardcopy and kindle, you can see all the differences in that month. I like the Jan 10 recipe better in the hardcopy version and in the kindle I prefer the jan28th recipe over the hardcopy. Inattached bkth side bt aide so you can see for your self. Despite this small issue this is one of my favorite cookbooks and I'm glad I have both versions. I love the recipes.

Title: Lots of options
Review: I saved a lot of salad recipes in this book. Easy to adapt for allergies. I love the list in the back. Salads are categorized by type. Example, beans, fish, pasta, potato, etc. Makes finding a salad to try easy.

Title: Beautiful as well as usefulâ
Review: Gorgeous enough to display as a coffee table book even if you never send it into the kitchen.I bought the hardback because, well⦠Williams Sonoma.Although the book doesnât have to be used this way, fun to follow the recommendation (and recipe) for each day of the year. Every month starts with a full page calendar, naming the salad for each. I like following the calendar and if the day doesnât recommend a salad that particularly appeals to me, I recommend Williams Sonomaâs soup book, instead.Especially noteworthy is that the ingredients used to create salads worthy of a fine restaurant, are all available from our local Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joeâs, etc.Buy the hard back book, you wonât regret it!

Title: Reminds me of the array of vegetables out there!
Review: I normally go online to find recipes but this book is such an easy reference and has made salads more enjoyable in our home. It has introduced to new vegetables and got us out of the rut of eating the same old salads. Weâve increased our vegetable consumption with these recipes. Additionally the pictures make you want to eat more salads!

Review: The comments are laudatory, many salads are not of the restaurant level, incomplete, too simple. The book had to be returned without regret. On one dish a quarter of a head of cabbage, scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes. (( I want to cry ((Or a watermelon is cut on a plate, a couple of mint leaves and crumbs of some kind of cheese ... Tin!

Review: I work in a institution kitchen, where I'm required to create 4 different salads a day and not repeat them in a 3 week cycle. So when I came across this book it helped a lot. in planning and staying within a low budget. I would recommend this for anyone for pretty much any purpose .. the ingredients are common and the recipes are simple .
