SIMPLY SALADS (N)

Jennifer Chandler's background as a Le Cordon Bleu graduate and a "down-home mom" means the recipes are both sophisticated in flavor and easy to follow. 

The book's core premise is to make creating delicious salads as easy as possible. It focuses on using pre-packaged, "ready-to-eat" greens from the supermarket as a convenient starting point. This is a major selling point for busy home cooks who want to eat healthy without a lot of hassle.

It offers over 100 recipes that are described as colorful, gourmet, and surprisingly simple to prepare. The book features photography by Langdon Clay, which is to make the recipes more appealing and help with inspiration.
