Pool side. And a pina colada salad. All<br />

bananas and mango and pineapple<br />

and coconut. It’s time, says Chantal<br />

Lascaris, for salads to take centre<br />

stage. To bring them over to the main<br />

event. Not only for lunch or dinner,<br />

but breakfast and dessert, too.<br />

The Ultimate Salad Book dishes<br />

up the classics - think Caprese and<br />

Waldorf and coleslaw, followed by<br />

three-ingredient salads - cucumber,<br />

onion and walnut; avo, artichoke<br />

and tomato. There’s a breakfast<br />

option - with butternut, portobellini<br />

mushrooms, chickpeas and spinach<br />

added to your eggs, and a glorious<br />

grilled veggie stack - prettiest dish in<br />

the book. Fish and chicken bulk up<br />

greens for main dishes, and there’s a<br />

creamy cos and rump salad that’s a<br />

joy. For sweet endings, fruity salads,<br />

like the Very Cherry Berry Salad with<br />

a Cointreau dressing. These are no<br />

sitting-on-the-side wallflowers ...<br />

they’re centre-stage-main-event<br />

delish. Struik, R400 from bookstores<br />
