200 Ways to Make a Salad: The Handy 1914 Guide

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher - Thanks to an increasing interest in cultivating health-conscious habits, salads have never been more popular. This vintage recipe book from the early 20th century presents 200 fast and easy-to-follow suggestions for preparing salads and dressings that will jazz up any meal. No special culinary skills are required, and the fixings are all easily obtained from any supermarket or grocer. Organized by ingredient, the recipes include green and vegetable salads; meat, poultry, and game salads; fish salads; and fruit salads. The final two chapters provide a tasty assortment of recipes for dressings. A brief but charming Introduction offers a flavorful history of salad-making.

The fact that the book's content is over 100 years old made my mind spin ... for a moment. Then I remembered my mother speaking of growing up on a farm where dinner and lunch were vegetables from the garden and fruit from the orchard and perhaps a little meat. It is funny how "everything old is new again" as this book proves. The recipes were great as I get bored with the same-old-same-old salads day in and out so this gave me some great ideas that I will then pass on to our clients. Great book!
