So the CDC has suggested that we eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day and, since I am planning on living forever, I have decided to, for 2013, try to do just that.  I sort of tried to do this in 2012 but on most days only got about seven daily servings into my diet.  This year I decided that big salads were the answer and this is where this book has been wonderful.This is one of several books that I have to help me accomplish my 10 vegetables/fruits a day goal.  The book is organized well and the recipes are clear.  My one gripe is that the recipes do not have calorie counts (I use my Weight Watchers online tabulator to figure that out) but almost all of them only contain health y, wholesome, good for you ingredients.  I have given it five stars despite the calorie issue because the recipes are that good!Probably the best thing about this book, as opposed to other salad books that I have is that most of the dressing ingredients only contain "good" fats.  For those of you who have not spent too many nights, as I have, pouring over the good versus bad fat literature, the "good" fats are basically those that come from olive oil, grape seed oil, avocado and nuts.  The Snow White Salad and the chicken, cashew and broccoli salads are worth the price of the book.  I have got to admit that I am in a bit of a rut with these two salads.  I want to make them and eat them every single day.  My spouse, alas, is ready to move on to the other great salads in this book.  If you are looking for healthy and delicious salads, this book will not disappoint.
