There are several reasons why this book is destined to become a bestseller. First, the recipes are easy to follow, highlighted by a full-page photo of each recipe (by Podleski) to show what the salad should look like.

The chapter called Grainy Goodness (“Hop on the grain train! Next stop, salad heaven”) will inspire you to give grains a try, such as Farro, Quinoa and Couscous.
