In the follow-up to her bestselling For the Love of Soup, Jeanelle Mitchell turns her attention to salads, with a lovely little book that's guaranteed its place on your shelf for years to come.

For the Love of Salad is a comprehensive guide to a dish we eat (or should!) almost every day. From leafy greens to pasta salads, this book addresses them and dresses them all, with flavourful dressings that will take all your salad creations to a whole other level. Simple and delicious, salads are a staple, but that doesn't mean they have to be the same old thing every night. Jeanelle begins with salad basics, discussing the various types of greens, the proper way to cut a variety of vegetables, and the basic principles behind creating a spectacular dressing. The remainder of the book is given over to the salad recipes themselves, accompanied by Jeanelle's own artwork. From crowd-pleasing classics to innovative new creations,

For the Love of Salad will be the book you go to for all things crisp, tasty, and fresh.
