SBS Food Guide to Salads
Far too often, salads are viewed as mere token side dishes, thrown together to help us virtuously eat our greens and reach those five serves a day. But salads can be entirely satisfying main courses in their own right.
In this guide, we look at ways to expand one's typical notion of a salad; learn the signature salads of the Middle East, Vietnam, Italy and more; and show you how to enjoy no-lettuce salads with ingredients like quinoa, fregola and barley.
In short, we're out to prove salads are anything but boring, so get ready to elevate yours from humdrum to heavenly.
