Salad of the Day (Revised): 365 Recipes for Every Day of the Year

I cook almost 100% vegan and I'm always running out of salad and side ideas. This book isnt necessarily vegan or even vegetarian but it does offer a wide (read that WIDE) variety of salad and veggie combos and options. This book has revitalized my meals. The photography is beautiful and the shear number of recipes is astounding. I make my own salad dressings to maintain low calorie/fat and high herb flavor and these recipes support those same values and I really appreciate that. Why burden a great healthy meal with fat and sugar? I think there is something in this cookbook for everyone. I prefer salads as the main dish, but even side-dish seekers will find a great selection of options in this book. If you've committed yourself to eating more greens or veggies, I think you'll will find inspiration here and a fantastic selection of alternatives to eat more healthy and vibrant meals.

I love salads but this truly takes it to another level. Using the seasonal items makes sure the ingredients taste the best they can. Every salad I've made has been incredible....when I stick to the recipe. I would get cocky at first and make adjustments- don't. Every ingredient has a purpose. The different lettuces make subtle differences. When put together, it's like a symphony. I know that sounds crazy, but trust me. These are well designed recipes. I had such a good response to my salads that many of my book club friends are buying and we joked that it should be our next book to discuss! Beautiful pictures. Well written. Not for amateurs. The ingredient lists are long and if you're not a foodie, you won't appreciate it.

I've glanced through this book and am anxious to try a good number of these recipes. Of course the real test of a good cookbook is how balanced the recipes are and how they actually taste. I will update my review after I've had the chance to sample some. For now, the 4 rating is because many of the links in the index DO NOT link to the correct recipe. They are one or two recipes off which is really annoying. Quality control in digital books is still very poor and it is unacceptable because this industry is old enough to have gotten it's act together. Nevertheless, if the recipes I try actually turn out to be tested and good, it's a keeper.

When I’m feeling stymied for dinner ideas, I turn to the Salad of the Day book and find something appealing. Frequently I can make the recipes with items I already have on hand. Each of the recipes I’ve tried so far has been easy and delicious. There is actually a recipe for every day of the year, and many utilize seasonal ingredients. Tomorrow’s salad use fresh peaches, which are luscious right now. Later this week, a fresh fig recipe is featured. A beautiful full color photograph is included every few pages. Really, my only criticism is that the servings indicated don’t indicate whether it’s a side salad or a main course salad. The recipes generally suit us as a one-course dinner since we’re eating lighter dinners these days.

For the longest time now I have endeavoured to eat a salad a day. I had found myself in a rut of eating very similar salads day in and day out. This book has changed all that. The recipes are exciting and beyond tasty. I used to purchase premade dressings. I just couldn't do it again after tasting how good home made dressings can be. With careful planning I can stock most of the ingredients (except the protein) to be able to make many of these salads any time. My family will happily eat one of these main meal salads (I have teenagers and a hungry Hubby) and I feel great about the contribution these nutritious meals are making to the health of my loved ones. I would very happily recommend this book if you like real food that tastes great and is good for you. This book will definitely come in handy if you are looking for original salad recipes to "wow" at potlucks too.

This book is very nice. The hardcover is well made, the photos are beautiful, and the variety of salads is fantastic. I love that it has a salad suggestion each day of the month. The only drawback for me is that I like a photo for each recipe, because I like to see what I am going to eat before I decide to make it. It doesn't have that, but it doesn't take away from how useful this book is. Highly recommend.

I love this cookbook in both hardcopy and kindle forms.... HOWEVER the kindle version is NOT the most recent edition, it is from 2015 not 2016. You can see the difference in the covers and some recipes are different. I own both, just purchased both this week, and honestly I like that they have slightly different recipes. In the month of January alone there are a number of different salads. It seems like they swapped out some of the recipes. I wish they would have given me the most recent edition in kindle but the flip side is that i have some additional recipes that are not in my hard copy and I love them...like the Jan 28 recipe... I will attach photos to show some differences in recipes. As you can see the January 10 and jan 28 recipe is different, if you look at the table of contents i posted from hardcopy and kindle, you can see all the differences in that month. I like the Jan 10 recipe better in the hardcopy version and in the kindle I prefer the jan28th recipe over the hardcopy. Inattached bkth side bt aide so you can see for your self. Despite this small issue this is one of my favorite cookbooks and I'm glad I have both versions. I love the recipes.

I love the content of the book!! The recipes are fresh and inspiring. My star-review is for the BOOK CONTENT and Georgeanne Brennan’s exceptional recipes. But mine arrived DIRTY. You can see the funk that came off the covers, and the bottom of the book has clear water damage with a small amount of mildew. It looks like a warehouse issue, because the box it arrived in was dry inside and out (and I watched the delivery man gently place it on my stoop). Super disappointed because I usually only buy books new (like this one) that I want to use with my clients (I’m a nutrition coach) and I don’t like showing clients books that look like they’ve been kept badly.

The comments are laudatory, many salads are not of the restaurant level, incomplete, too simple. The book had to be returned without regret. On one dish a quarter of a head of cabbage, scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes. (( I want to cry (( Or a watermelon is cut on a plate, a couple of mint leaves and crumbs of some kind of cheese ... Tin!

Dieses Buch ist wirklich klasse! Zwar enthält es, rein aufgrund der Rezeptfülle, nur für ca. 20% der Rezepte Fotos, dafür finden sich die Salate nach Monaten geordnet und mit einem Index nach Rezepttitel sowie Zutaten geordnet, so dass man entweder für die passende Jahreszeit etwas suchen kann oder für die noch vorhandenen Zutaten im Vorrat. Es gibt alles an Salaten, was man sich vorstellen kann, von ganz einfachen Drei-Zutaten-Salaten bis Hauptgerichten mit oder ohne Fleisch und insbesondere für so ziemlich jede Zutat einen Salat. Auch die Dressings sind immer mal wieder anders. Wer sich öfter die Frage stellt, was er denn jetzt für einen Salat aus den vorhandenen Zutaten zubereiten kann, ohne immer wieder bei den drei Standardsalaten - Gurke, Tomate, Blattsalat mit Vinaigrette - zu landen, ist mit diesem Buch sehr gut beraten und hat eine unerschöpfliche Ideenquelle für Beilagen- und Hauptgerichtssalate.

non per ogni ricetta c'è una foto (peccato) però sono tutte fattibili, buoni e sicuramente facili da preparare. un libro interessante.

This cookbook is beautifully illustrated, it has great recipes that include easy to find ingredients.

Bought this for myself & loved it so much, I ordered it for my daughter as well! Working thru it day by day, like 'Julie & Julia'! Have yet to be disappointed.
