Awesome, creative ideas...

The salads in this book are combinations of ingredients I was not familiar with but with the little extra effort I made delicious "gourmet" salads and learned a little more about different kinds of vegetables and oils / vinegars. I have made 4 salads so far: Soba noodle salad with tofu, mushrooms, smoked paprika, cumin almonds, bok choy with wasabi dressing; warm salad of Chorizo, olives, potatoes, peas, and green beans with aruggula and cripsy onion rings (my favorite so far, hand made beer-battered onion rings); thai-styled beef salad with cilantro, mint, lime, and peanuts; chicken, shrimp, avacado, pecan and mango salad with baby gem, watercress, and sprouts. What I like most about the recipes is its daring approach of ingredients and they are healthy, natural ingredients, lots of rich dark greens with one-of-a kind dressings. Most recipes probably need about an hour or so prep time so plan accordingly.
