"Salads are trendy- the health foods of the '90s. Novices in the kitchen might believe that this trend is something new, but a quick look through this cookbook reveals that salads have been in style for years. Generally quick and easy to prepare, salads round out menus and add sparkle to meals. Each of the recipes in this cookbook includes a brief introduction that tells you something about the recipe, which makes for enjoyable reading even when you are not hungry for a salad." -- Goodreads.
