Delicious Salad Meals: Main Dish Salads Dressed Up with Breads and Sweets to Make a Complete Meal

I have all of Dot Vartan's cookbooks, including Mad About Muffins and Is it Soup Yet and like those books, this book has great, easy to make (and follow) recipes. I especially like the meal planner; this way I don't have to think too much! I highly recommend this book.

Dot Vartan's latest cookbook, "Delicious Salad Meals," is a must for any cook who needs ideas for light, delicous meals that are not complicated to prepare. What I like most about the book is the organization, which divides the salad/meal recipes by type, e.g., poultry, meat, seafood, etc., and then once you choose a recipe, side dishes are given that complement to complete a meal. The recipes are delicious, easy to follow, well written, and include ingredients that are not hard to find at the grocery store. A fine resource for weekday meals for those who want to put together a healthy meal for the family after a day at work. The book provides great ideas for party salads, too! And I've given many copies away as hostess gifts. A versatile, affordable cook book that I recommend highly.

I love the way the book is organized into 5 chapters. Each recipe is easy to read and in almost every case, I already have all of the ingredients on hand. It's also nice having the recipes for bread, muffin and dessert accompaniment right there on the next page.

I love this book of salads. I have been wanting recipes that aren't the same old combinations you find at restaurants!!! My family actually looks forward to eating their veggies, because this book is so creative in the combinations... We entertain alot and mixing the combination of salads as side dishes allow our guests to eat healthily while feeling like they have a special meal in front of them!

This book is wonderful. There are lots of great ideas for salads. In the summer I love to have salads as my main meal. This book is full of ideas to let me do just that!
