Salads

Here are salads at their freshest and best. They make the perfect energy-giving lunch on the run, accompaniment to a barbecue, light starter or satisfying meal. Seasonal ingredients, fresh flavours and bursts of bright jewel-like colour typify today's eclectic salad offerings, where noodles or rice, cheese or fruit, poultry or meat, nuts or pulses nestle among the salad greens, all topped off with a zippy dressing. This title includes more than 80 energy-packed recipes using a wide range of ingredients; advice on preparation, nutrition and entertaining; and, inspirational and quirky photography, in a compact format.
