Elke salade ooit

The holiday side recipes surprised me—the roasted squash and cranberry salad was a hit at Thanksgiving. I've already tabbed about a dozen weeknight dinners I can't wait to try. It's refreshing to find a cookbook that actually makes salads feel like a proper meal.

The meal-prep lunch section alone has earned back the shelf space — I've been packing the same three containers on repeat and still not bored. 100 recipes is a lot, but the layout makes it easy to flip to whatever's already in the fridge.

The holiday sides section totally changed how I do Thanksgiving—I made the roasted squash and cranberry salad and my family asked for the recipe twice. With 100 recipes, I've got enough variety to keep weeknight dinners interesting for months.
