Salad, Always

Through recipes whose flavors span the globe, lifelong salad devotee Fanny Singer showcases the myriad forms great salads can take. This deeply personal book is filled with irresistible recipes, from Georgian Tomato and Cucumber Salad and Chanterelles with Almond-Orange Rind Gremolata to Basmati Rice and Butter Lettuce with Cucumber Raita and Mint. Beautiful and delicious, these dishes prove once and for all that salad deserves pride of place on any table.

Salad, Always is a joyous celebration of the diverse fruit and vegetable kingdoms. Singer has crafted a compendium of recipes by bright, herby flavors; vibrant citrus; textural contrast; and, of course, a lot of good olive oil.

In these pages she champions seasonality and shares helpful guidance on mastering the art of salad dressings (with fifteen recipes for your new favorites), how to choose the right olive oil, and the best way to
wash lettuce. This veritable salad manifesto makes it easier and more delicious to put healthy and fresh ingredients at the center of the plate.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
