I read the Gardening Thread too that spoke about this book. I went to Amazon, checked the reviews and ordered a copy, used condition from Yankee Clipper through Amazon. The book cost 58 cents with $3.99 shipping and arrived a day ago. It is a glorious hard cover, very good condition. I briefly looked at it’s pictures and recipes and I am in love with this book “ Simple But Perfect Salads-The Taste of Summer All Year Round”.
Can’t wait to try some of the recipes! Loads of different ways to use greens with/or without meat/seafood.
I am so glad that you are happy with it - the pictures in the book will definitely make you hungry for salad! The one salad that is haunting my dreams (probably because I had to buy a canteloupe the other day to use as woodchuck trap bait) is the prosciutto with melon & asparagus. It looks like one of the more ‘exotic’ salads, but the dressing is only 3 ingredients. I’ll be buying another canteloupe and trying that one before too much more time passes by.
Another book you might like is Sauces & Salsas by Oded Schwartz. Some recipes are simple, some fancy with lots of good information. http://www.amazon.com/Sauces-Salsas-Hb-Oded-Schwartz/dp/0751307858/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1332676805&sr=8-3
