Since I love salads and also go to Pot Luck Dinners, I was searching for a salad cookbook that would have easy to prepare and great tasting salads. In this cookbook, I have found this!Because I was searching for a Salad Cookbook that would have salads that are full flavored and filling, I was delighted to find just this in this cookbook. Many of the recipes have enough bulk for a salad that are so satisfying that they can be used for a lighter lunch or dinner. Four such recipes that I found are:+ Famous Greek Salad+ Famous Caesar Salad+ Classic Potato Salad+ Delicious Taco SaladAlso under each recipe is the nutritional information: Serving Size, Calories, Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Carbohydrate, Fiber. Protein, and Sugar.You will note that many of these recipes are higher calorie. And for me, I cut the calories by using 1/2 of the cheese in the recipe (and also the low fat version) and also I took out the anchovies to saveon Sodium.**On the Taco Salad recipe, I substituted the cheddar cheese with low fat cheddar, also I used 90 percent lean ground beef, and low calorie Catalina dressing.This is an excellent salad cookbook and I highly recommend it.Also on the Potato Salad, I used low fat mayo and this saved calories.
