I love salads so have a half dozen books on the subject. While each book presents several recipes which I use over and over, mostly seem unimaginative, contain many salads using meat (I'm vegetarian), or combine odd ingredients just to be different. This book is a game changer. It is the result of the author's passion for salad. She offers a new, colorful, and doable way of combining salad ingredients. Having worked with Martha Stewart, she is aware that the appearance of the dish enhances its flavor. Each salad is pictured on a full page next to the recipe. The recipe is prefaced by a description as to what makes the salad special. The opening pages of the book introduce the reader to important tools and techniques. She then divides the recipes into the four seasons. She even includes suggestions about music for salad-making.
In my opinion, the book title "Salad Freak" is misleading, suggesting that the author may present "way out" suggestions. While her recipes are certainly innovative, they, nevertheless have appeal for even the most traditional cook.

About the author
So Many Amazing Salads & Delicious Dressings
I love salad, but I get so tired of boring green salads. My favorite type of salad has to have all kinds of tiny delicious bites. Everything in this little cookbook so far has met that standard.I just bought this on a Kindle Deal and I'm going to go back and get the full paper version for ease of use, because there are already a dozen salads that I want to try. I'm an experienced cook and I can already tell that the flavor combinations are inspired and delicious. The first salad I made was the Crisy Chicken, Gingery Cabbage, Mandarins and Almonds. I picked that one because I had all the ingredients available in my fridge waiting to liquify (as salad fixin's are wont to do...) I did NOT make the chicken, but the salad itself was *divine* and made enough for three full meals with generous amounts of dressing.ETA: I made the Chili Crisp today and it is the most AMAZING condiment I’ve ever made. I cannot recommend it enough. The garlic and shallot slices turn caramelized in the frying process and remain crispy in the oil. It’s really spicy but with the tiny bit of honey and spice in the recipe it’s crazy good.Difficult to find ingredients?? Substitute! The point is to get more flavorful greens into our lives and these salads are both beautiful and flavorful. FYI... the recommended 'O Olive Oils & Vinegars' brand are available from Target and Amazon.I highly recommend snapping up this gem and leafing through. You won't be disappointed!
