Slimming Salads and Side Dishes Corner

Salads are no longer just warm weather food. At any time of year, a nutritious, fresh-tasting salad is welcome, as a side dish or as a meal in itself. The recipes in this chapter include many ideas for accompanying salads slices of crunchy fennel and apple with raisins in a soured cream dressing, salad greens dressed with a creamy Roquefort cheese mixture, tiny new potatoes tossed in a piquant dressing made with capers and gherkin, and a delicious mixture of grated carrot, apple, sunflower seeds and cashew nuts.

A Main Dish Salad is an excellent way to use up leftover meat, fish and poultry, and here you'll find some very clever ways to serve roast beef, ham, smoked trout and smoked chicken, as well as canned fish (tuna and sardines) and delicatessen meats such as salami and spicy chorizo sausage.
