Good Housekeeping Super Salads: 70 Fresh and Simple Recipes

Whether readers are looking for a salad to serve as a main, a side, or something to bring to a party or cookout, they will find plenty of friendly options in this convenient recipe collection. Dishes range from salads that can be created in a matter of minutes (rotisserie chicken Cobb, Niçoise) as well as ones requiring specific tools, such as a sous vide device for a steak salad with charred green onions and beets (though one can also grill the steak along with the vegetables). There are a few misfires (the five-ingredient BLT pasta salad is served sans dressing) among such flavor-packed options as the tapas salad with manchego cheese, chorizo, and roasted peppers in a simple sherry-based vinaigrette; ginger pork and cucumber salad; Caribbean salmon and mango; and a craveable honey-lime ramen. As with other Good Housekeeping efforts, the emphasis here is on flavor, familiarity, and simplicity over showmanship; nutritional information for each salad allows readers to make informed choices. This user-friendly collection makes a perfect fit for vegetarians and carnivores alike. (Apr.)
