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 />
