Book Review: Mighty Salads by the Editors of Food 52

Mighty Salads is not your run-of-the-mill cookbook. It contains 60 mouth-watering recipes for salads that are balanced and filling enough to make a meal out of them. The book is also sprinkled full of tips on topics like growing your own sprouts, preparing eggs, and prepping other ingredients. Each recipe is accompanied by a photograph. (Hey, we eat with our eyes first right?)

I must say this is a book to get excited about. I couldn’t stop devouring the pictures and planning what to make first when it arrived. The recipes are well-constructed and exciting, and this book is a must-have for foodies who like to cook, or those trying to improve their health and eating habits. However, many of the ingredients are difficult to find, expensive, or require some advance preparation. So if you are a Mom trying to constantly feed a family of small children you may find yourself frustrated with prep-time (and of course combating a child’s simple palette desiring mac and cheese or pizza most of the time). However it’s still a pleasant book to have around for a special night without the kids, or maybe when they go off to college!
