On Salads (Paperback) by Lawrence, Sue

Nutritious, delicious, and quick to prepare, salads are the ultimate foods for our time. Here, chef Sue Lawrence offers a truly global collection of sophisticated and achievable recipes. Whether you crave the palate-cleansing simplicity of Watercress and Red Pepper or an invigorating start to a meal--try Arugula, Artichoke, Parmesan, and Prosciutto or Roasted Fennel with Stilton--these salads are brimming with flavor and freshness.

The main course, from a classic Salade Nicoise to the more unusual East-West Fusion of Duck, Pea, and Ginger or the intriguing Elephant Foot Bread with Avocado, provide ample proof that a salad makes a hearty meal on its own.

There are also marvelous fruit salads and compotes, like Figs with Rosemary and Pistachios. A luscious collection of recipes to create the perfect feast.
