I have always been fascinated by salads - long gone are the days when a simple lettuce mixed with tomato and cucumber sufficed. I have included designer-style salads for the beginner as well as the experienced cook. Vibrant, nutritious and varied, these salads can be eaten as appetisers, main courses or for any healthy lunch or supper. I hope they will introduce you to exciting new tastes and combinations from around the globe and act as an inspirational starting point for your own salad creations.
