RAISING THE SALAD BAR RAISES SALADS TO A NEW
LEVEL
RAISING THE SALAD BAR is one of the best cookbooks I have ever
sampled. I prepared dozens of the salads, and each is more scrumptious
than the next. The Wheat Berry Salad with Citrus Dressing was my
favorite until my husband prepared the Baby Spinach and Strawberry Salad
and the Seared Scallop Salad with Watercress and Pineapple for my
birthday and both were dazzlers.
So is the Grilled Chicken Salad with Red and Yellow Peppers and
Honey-Dijon Vinaigrette.
I can't understand the reviewer who said the dressings were too oily
and sweet. I've never tasted such delicious salads in my life. And the
dressings are over-the-top delicious.
The food critics agree. The book has received glowing reviews. Check
out the review in The Seattle Times if you don't believe me.
There are more than 70 salads featured in this cookbook, and so far,
the ones I've sampled are as delicious as they look in the gorgeous
photographs.
I dare anyone to try the Wheat Berry Salad on p. 195 and not love
it. Or any of the salads I mentioned above. Or the Jicama, Mango and
Green Cabbage Slaw with Citrus Vinaigrette. Or the Cajun Shrimp and Corn
Salad with Lime-Chile Dressing. Or The Seared Salmon with Baby Greens
and Mango Salsa Vinaigrette. Or the Mixed Greens and Radicchio Salad
with Grilled Sliced Steak. The Gremolata Dressing with greated lemon
zest is a perfect complement to the steak--and certainly not sweet, but
not bitter either. This reader and cook thought the Gremolate Dressing
was outstanding with the steak. Certainly beats your standard Steak
Sauce!
I could go on and on, but if you are a salad lover, don't just take
my word for it. Buy the book and sample some of the dozens of
scrumptious salads in RAISING THE SALAD BAR. I'd be surprised if you
don't agree with me.
Totally inspiring !
This terrific book is full of inspiration. If you are a salad
eater, but find that you're stuck in a rut, this wonderfully-illustrated
book will crank up your creativity. Great main dish salads and side
dishes, too. And not just green salads, but potato, pasta and other
grains. I especially love the section on how to make good dressings. A
must - and a great gift. Enjoy!
A Keeper!
This small book contains some wonderfully creative, new salad ideas.
Many recipes arre accompanied by a photo - gives you something to aim
for in your presentation! Who knew you could purchase a New Year's
resolution?
