Sara Tercero, the chef and creator of the popular food blog Better Food Guru, is here to transform your life and your view on salads by sharing her salad obsession and expertly honed techniques. Challenging the narrative of salads as “diet food,” “boring,” or “rabbit food,” this book shines a light on their boundless potential, offering approachable, beautifully colorful, and incredibly delicious recipes that bring salads to a whole new level.

In Salad Queen, you will find recipes that are bright, textural, full of healthy ingredients, and always paired with a wickedly delicious dressing, such as Roasted Fall Squash Salad with Maple Tahini Dressing, Warm Chickpea and Roasted Veggie Salad with a warming Curry Vinaigrette, Spring Pea and Mint Salad with Oranges and Farro, and Puttanesca Pasta Salad. Drawing from her three decades of experience as a restaurant chef, Sara will demonstrate how easy it is to incorporate more plants into your diet using a gentle approach that is friendly to vegans and omnivores alike. She demystifies vegetables and plant-based proteins, reveals unexpected tips and tricks, and shares her own personal plant-based journey. Sara will inspire you to eat better with creativity, ease, vibrancy, and undeniable tastiness.

Featuring 125 full-color photographs shot by Sara herself, Salad Queen invites readers to eat more plants—one irresistible bowl at a time. It's time for salad to become the star attraction, and Sara Tercero is here to pass you the crown.
