There are few more versatile dishes than salads - cold or hot, raw or cooked. The variety is almost endless, from a simple combination of choice salad leaves to classics such as salade nicoise. Tasty, crunchy and healthy, salads are not just for the summer but for every season, and this collection of recipes aims to inspire you all year round. Salad starters ranges from the simple and refreshing Mushroom salad to the exotic and colourful avocado and papaya salad. Main Course Salads includes more substantial dishes, such as prawn and aritchoke salad, warm duck salad, and pasta salad with broccoli and artichokes. Classic Salads features favourites from across the world, such as tabboulch from the Lebanon, gado-gado from Indonesia, Turkish feta salad, and Persian cucumber salad. Side Salads, such as colourful roasted pepper salad and spicy potato salad, are ideal accompaniments at any time of year. The final chapter, Fruit Salads, features a selection of fruit salads, including stunning red fruit salad, traditional fruit compote, and Caribbean avocado salad in ginger and orange sauce.
