This book demonstrates that salads can be wholesome main dishes with 100 original and varied recipes. From light, fresh summer salads with crunchy vegetables to hearty combinations with pasta, rice, beans, potatoes, or quinoa: with the numerous inspirations, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet becomes easy, and the salads are also perfect for takeout and lunch breaks. Various leafy greens such as lettuce, frisée, arugula, romaine, or radicchio are paired with complementary ingredients: vegetables can be grilled, steamed, sautéed, or simply used raw. Toppings include nuts and seeds, mushrooms, cress, or other fresh herbs, but of course, meat, fish, or seafood also enhance the flavor experience. Unique salad dressings like a pomegranate syrup dressing complete the dish.
