What makes the tastiest salad? Great ingredients, of course, plus a beautifully balanced dressing and a bit of crunchy texture. This book has all the fixings for those looking for lunch or savory supper ideas and inspirations: 35 recipes for dressings, 10 toppings, 10 composed salads that bring all the elements together perfectly, and more than 20 vibrant photographs. Each dressing recipe is paired with suggestions for which greens work best, and add-ons (toasted nuts, roasted vegetables, cooked grains) that provide great options for the best salads all year long.

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…
