Containing step-by-step instructions for 30 quick and easy recipes, this book is intended for people who love the freshness and variety salad can bring to a meal but are discouraged by all the preparation required. The recipes are divided into four sections - hors d'oeuvres, side salads, main meals and hot salads - and introductory material provides tips on choosing ingredients and keeping them fresh, time-saving methods of chopping and slicing, and a discussion of kitchen appliances.
