Sensational Salads: More than 75 creative & vibrant recipes by Kathy Kordalis

There’s so much more to salad than just a few salad leaves, tomato, and cucumber on a plate. They are so easy to elevate and take to the next level by experimenting with different flavours and additional ingredients.

Taking inspiration from around the world from Mediterranean olive rich recipes to Asian-inspired noodle salads, this collection of wholesome recipes will encourage even the most prolific salad avoider. Salads can be light and fresh, such as the classic Tuna Niçoise or hearty and filling such as Grilled Chicken Topped Tabbouleh.
