Nutritionist and chef Clem Haxby has discovered the secret to building a perfect salad: it’s all in the dressings. In The Salad Project, every chapter begins with a formula for what makes the best creamy, zingy, herby, or spicy dressing (it's all in the balance of salt, fat, acid, and sweet!). Each of the 28 dressings gets used twice and Clem offers even more suggestions for other salad recipes to pair it with: Dressings come together within minutes, and with Clem's suggestion, prepping them and extra toppers ahead of time results in quicker weekday meals. The 56 salad recipes include tips from what to swap in to make a salad fully plant-based to how to convert your leftovers into a new dish. Clem also categorizes the salads by prep intensity and includes a handful of weekly meal prep plans crafted around prioritizing protein, keeping blood sugar levels steady, and making your gut happier. Say goodbye to sidelining dressings and ending up with soggy salads on repeat. The Salad Project shows you how to make dressings for stellar restaurant-level results.
