Simply Salads: More than 100 Delicious Creative Recipes Made from Prepackaged Greens and a Few Easy-to-Find Ingredients

From bag to table, healthy salads have never been easier.

You've always known that eating green could be healthy, and now it's easier than ever. With the abundance of supermarket selections of prepackaged greens, you can create a restaurant-style salad?along with a fabulous dressing?in your own kitchen.

Before bagged blends, a salad with four different types of lettuces was unheard of. Now there are more than fifty different combinations of lettuces, packaged in just the right size, from which to choose. Think beyond iceberg and romaine. The more than one hundred salads and dressings in Simply Salads are colorful, gourmet, and surprisingly simple to prepare. Whether you're looking for the perfect complement to a main dish or you want a salad that can stand as an entrée, you'll find the perfect salad, including such winners as:

• Asian Salad with Ginger Dressing and Wasabi Peas (page 4)
• Jalapeño Chicken Salad with Avocado Dressing (page 40)
• Crawfish Salad with Spicy Cajun Remoulade (page 106)
• Cheese Tortellini Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette (page 172)
• Memphis Mustard Cole Slaw (page 223)

First-time author Chandler proves, with over 100 winning recipes, that you don't have to go to a restaurant to get a top-notch salad that's healthy and flavorful. Using bagged, pre-washed salad blends as a base, Chandler whips up everything from a traditional Steakhouse Wedge Salad with blue cheese, bacon and tomatoes to Margarita Chicken Salad, Thai Beef Salad and Lobster Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette. Even if readers never make the salads, the book's numerous dressings and slaws deserve a look, as do the bean, rice and pasta-based dishes. With something for every salad lover, Chandler's collection is bound to inspire.
