Some of the recipes in this book are for simple salads that pretty much anyone already knows how to make, or can find online--tuna salad, a Greek salad, bacon-lettuce-tomato salad. Others, quite a few, are salads only in the sense that they are served cold--perhaps the most outrageous "salad" I have ever seen is one made with six (!) Snickers candy bars chopped up and mixed with apples, a container of Cool Whip and a box of instant butterscotch pudding and then garnished with caramel syrup. If that sounds like a "salad" you would enjoy, then this is the book for you.The photos of the salads are very attractive, if small but the lay-out leaves much to be desired in the kindle edition as the font for recipe names is large and runs to several lines and most of the recipes run onto adjacent pages, so unlike in a well-designed hardcover cookbook, the recipe is not on a single page. There are 40 recipes in total, and while there are a few that I might like to make, most are either obvious ones that I already know how to make or goopy concoctions of canned fruit, cool whip and pudding mixes.  Honestly, the cover is the best thing about this book!I received the kindle book for free in exchange for an honest review, and I feel bad to have to write such a negative review, but I have to have some integrity is what I say. These days, with so many free recipes available online, a cookbook has to be pretty special for me to want to buy it, and this does not measure up, in my opinion.
