The Perfectly Tossed Salad

More about the book

Everyone loves a salad - full of fresh ingredients, simple to throw together when you're short of time and packed with nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables and lean protein and nuts. However, salads can often start to feel repetitive, high on virtue but low on appeal. In The Perfectly Tossed Salad , Mindy Fox shows that this is simply down to a lack of imagination and her recipes prove just what a humble salad is capable of. Capitalising on the huge variety available to us, Mindy conjures up pitch-perfect flavour combinations - watermelon and feta, celeriac and orange - and really gets creative. Salads like Warm Roasted Squash with Baby Leaf, Roasted Lemon and Spiced Pecan, or Wholemeal Pasta with Chicken, Capers, Ricotta and Marjoram can be a substantial meal or a light lunch, and Clams with Spinach, Spanish Ham and Sweet Shallot is certainly not out of place on a dinner party menu. With all this mouthwatering variety and versatility at hand, it's nice to think how good for us it all is too!
