The book features some tasty-looking salads, and unlike many cookbooks that I've seen, it includes photographs and nutrition information. The recipes are a mixed bag for vegans, but there are a number of vegan salads or salads whose recipes could as modified for vegans. Some of the salads are old standards like a taco salad, but there are some, like quinoa black bean salad, that I haven't seen before, and I'll be trying a few of these. Most salad ingredients are readily available year-round in supermarkets. There are a few recipes that call for more exotic ingredients, such as kaffir lime leaves and fish sauce, but only a few of the salads require these.Each salad lists the nutrition information, including serving size; total calories and a breakdown of calories from fat, carbohydrates, and protein; sodium; and dietary fiber. Recipes also include color photographs of the ready-to-eat salads, although the photos are small, and double-tapping the thumbnail images to enlarge them doesn't help too much.This is a nice collection of recipes with some salads for just about everyone, including carnivores, vegans, and even kids.
