For the Love of Salad
By Jeanelle Mitchell

For the Love of Salad provides the basics needed to dress up every meal with the perfect salad every time.

In a perfect follow-up to her bestselling For the Love of Soup, Jeanelle Mitchell turns her attention to salads. For the Love of Salad is a comprehensive guide to a dish we eat (or should!) almost every day. From leafy greens to pasta salads and flavourful dressings, Jeanelle Mitchell takes salads to a whole new level.

“Always have fresh ingredients on hand for salad, and if you buy too much, you can always make soup!” says Jeanelle.

For the Love of Salad begins with a section on tips for successful salads, the proper way to cut a variety of vegetables, and the basic principles behind creating a spectacular dressing. Subsequent chapters serve up recipes for salads made with leafy greens; garden vegetables; grains, pastas, rice and beans; meat and chicken; and seafood. Both the cover and the colour illustrations inside are Jeanelle’s own artwork.

From crowd-pleasing classics to innovative new creations, For the Love of Salad will be the book you go to for all things crisp, tasty, and fresh.

Born in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Jeanelle Mitchell’s dream of seeing the world was realized when she became a flight attendant. As she travelled the world and experienced the universal language of food, she began to collect recipes and experiment with the exotic ingredients she encountered on her travels.

Her first cookbook, For the Love of Soup, which she wrote to raise money for her handicapped nephew, was a bestseller, and continues to delight cooks across Canada. Now well into her second career as bestselling cookbook writer and recipe developer, Jeanelle divides her time between Northern Ontario and Toronto.
