Preparing Bowl Of Greens

It's salad time! The days of the boring salad are over. Salads can be some of the best ways to eat colorful, nutrient-dense foods. But it can be hard to find the right salad recipes that are easy and delicious enough to justify the effort.

The 1950s definition of a salad was a bit broader than today's, and this book encompasses a plentitude of creative garden preparations. Fans of the quintessential bowl of greens will find a commendable rendition in the aptly-named Giant Green Salad. If you're feeling more creative, relieve summer's heat with a Lime Cucumber Salad, or end dinner on a high note with a Blushing Pear. Revive the lost art of the Jell-o mould with a Tomato Salad Ring. Salad-themed verses and illustrations perk up pages with fresh wit.
