In the book's introduction, Butcher (New Middle Eastern Street Food) immerses readers in the history and language of salads. After explaining terms, such as salleting (to make salads) and salmagundi (a 17th-century English salad), the author shares international recipes for salads that can be served traditionally, as finger food, or in creative vessels (e.g., hollowed-out fruits and vegetables, scallop shells). For Butcher, few ingredients are off limits; she crafts salads from familiar lettuces, vegetables, legumes, grains, and meats but also uses edible flowers, foraged plants, and sophisticated dressings (e.g., pesto made from "pert baby nettles," tarragon-infused vinegar).
VERDICT Whether you're looking for a quick snack, a winning appetizer, a super healthy meal, or a refreshing fruit dessert, Butcher's latest will have you covered. For a great gift for salad lovers, pair this with Mindy Fox's Salads: Beyond the Bowl.
