I am not a vegan but that didn't stop me from wanting to check out this book. And it turns out subtitle ("...You don't have to be a vegan to love") is 100% correct! The book features a lot of unique vegan salad recipes. that appeal even to non-vegans. The author is food/lifestyle blogger Terry Hope Romero and she's also released several other vegan cookbooks. You can check out her website here: http://veganlatina.com
Some salads feature non-meat protein options like tofu or seitan but many are just all veggies & beans (in case tofu etc. isn't your thing). There is a whole chapter featuring from-scratch dressings. I've made the Zucchini and Chickpea Fattoush Salad so far and it was love at first bite. It was easy to put together with straightforward ingredients. the instructions were easy to follow. The end result was a bright, crisp, flavorful salad that I will definitely be making again. I have around a dozen other salad recipes bookmarked and I am looking forward to making them. The book is loaded with beautiful pictures of the salads that tempt me to try them all out.
It IS approaching summer and I love having a salad with most meals during the summer.
I recommend this to people (whether they are vegan or not) who are looking for some creative salads.
I received a digital review copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for a review. Thank you NetGalley and Hachette Books

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Show Up for Salad is a new tutorial vegan cookbook by food and lifestyle blogger Terry Hope Romero. Due out 4th June 2019 from Hatchette on their Da Capo/Lifelong imprint, it's 304 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. The eARC/ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents, index (super handy!), and is hyperlinked throughout.
The layout is streamlined, logical, and appealing. The recipes are easy to find and the graphics and photography are well done.
The book's introduction explains a fair bit of the background and theory (where do you get your protein? doesn't eating salad leave you feeling hungry? why eat a plant based diet? isn't it difficult being vegan? etc), and then dives right into the general techniques: choosing, washing, soaking, drying ingredients, tools and other hardware, as well as sourcing more uncommon ingredients.
The recipes themselves are arranged thematically: Dressings and Toppings (and there are a massive number of alternatives), Salads, Roasted and Grilled, Pasta and Grains, and a selection of Soups. In all there are 100 recipes with a nearly infinite number of different dressings and topping combinations both savory and sweet/tangy.
We tried and absolutely loved the Buffalo Tomato Soup and Caesar Salad (5 stars), and Peking Roasted Tofu Salad (amazing). We have been trying to incorporate more plant based meals in our daily routine and this cookbook honestly has an amazing variety of tastes and cuisines made from easily sourced ingredients. There are a lot of these recipes which will satisfy non-vegetarian friends.
Really well done cookbook.
Five stars.

I absolutely love this cookbook. I love salad but tend to make the same one repeatedly. This has so many great ideas to add into meal rotation.
This book explains various tools and prepping strategies that will help make salad assembling quick and easy.
It discusses how to grow your own micro greens and which salt to use and even how to make salted lemons, which I had never tried before.
There is a handy notice for how long ingredients are good for so you know what to prep ahead and what to make that day.
This book also has a note for gluten, soy, or nut free for allergies.
I was so impressed with the marinade options that give your protein so much flavor to mix up for variety.
This book provides endless combinations by offering salad recipe with topping and dressing choices to mix up regularly.

I was super excited about this book, because I am a vegan who doesn't necessarily care for salads. I found a few recipes for dressings and toppings that I want to try emulating in the future, but unfortunately this book did not make me excited to incorporate more salads into my life.

Everything in this book looks super delicious! Bonus points that it's vegan, meaning I can make all this stuff when my baby bro comes to visit, cuz obviously he is vegan. This book would be worth it for all the dressing recipes alone, whether you're vegan or not, however I still need everything else in here as well haha The sriracha cilantro ranch dressing, the salted lemons,whole loaf blackened tempeh pastrami, and the juicy grilled summer days peach salad all need to get in my mouth immediately! Grab up this book and prepare to start drooling!
