- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2024Easy to follow recipes, great pictures and inspiration for creating some new salads to tempt everyone into enjoying their five a day!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2017A recipe book for salads, I can see you roll your eyes right now.
Well this is excellent.
The recipes that I have tried are great, and it is about ideas, it is about flavour combinations and inspiration.
Beautifully presented, and photographed this is a really lovely gift.
So, it is divided into sections
Classics
Naturally Fast
Lunchbox
Food doe friends
Food for family
Crunchy things
Dressings
There is an unusually useful storecupboard section, thus has ideas for extras to add, sweet things, grains, spices, Asian etc.
As someone who reads cook books for ideas rather than to follow a recipe step by step, gram by gram this is great.
I particularly like the recipes for
Lyonnaise Salad
Tabbouleh
Som Tam
Cobb
Watermelon and Feta
3 ways with cauliflower
Karen's squash salad
Nutty clementine with the Middle Eastern Dressing
Chinese wellbeing salad (my favourite at the moment)
Kosambari
There are brilliant dressing recipes, with a recipe for Ranch, Wasabi and Say (excellent) and Walnut dressing (among many, many others.
If you like fresh, raw food, filled with flavour, but are looking for something new and different then this book will not disappoint.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2016We are really enjoying working our way through this salad book in an attempt at some healthier eating. There are some delicious recipes such as Lyonnaise, Greek, Chargrilled Chicken & Chorizo Club Classic, Middle Eastern Spiced Quinoa, and Mexican Salad. The book is divided into Classics, Naturally Fast, Lunchbox, Food for friends, Food for family. There are also two final sections for crunchy things (think croutons, roasted halloumi crumbs, Leon toasted seeds) and finally dressings.
Overall a great book and really tasty recipes. I have found the portion sizes to vary quite a lot, so perhaps an indication of size e.g. Main meal / starter / lunch and a calorie count would be useful.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2023Love Leon. It’s all I ever bang on about when I go to London. Their food is fresh and delicious and as I don’t live in the city, I thought this would be a good alternative. The selection of recipes are vast and have a lot of ingredients in that I haven’t tried or heard of before…but things can be adapted.
I have never been adventurous with salads as they are boring or the lettuce flops about like a drama queen because you dared dressing it in balsamic.
I haven’t tried any suggestions yet, I need to source some of the ingredients, but when I do, I think salads MAY find its way on my plate again.
Worth a look anyway :)
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2021I Highly recommend this book, it's beautifully presented with fabulous salad recipes and easy directions, I've always enjoyed salads, but i often run out of ideas and end up going for the same tired ingredients, well this is the perfect solution, it really gets you creative in the kitchen and so far all the ones I've tried have been delicious. I made 3 of the salads in big batches for my sisters wedding and they went down a treat.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 July 2017Another beautiful offering from LEON, this time Happy Salads 🌞. Delighted to say that, once again, LEON have produced a perfect transition to Kindle in terms of content - particularly in the delicious photography. This Kindle version has not suffered at all in transition from hard copy. It's also perfectly collated allowing the reader to jump easily to other sections of the book with ease and back again. The book itself is divided into five sections (as per blurb) following an introduction outlining the LEON ethos. There is a photograph for every salad which I love to see - it's a pleasure to read. Finally, at the rear section of the book, are additional recipes for sublime dressings. A Happy book indeed.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2023It was not made clear that this order contained 2 identical books, not one. I was hoping to find a single book & a cheaper option but this was all I could see. It’s a great salad book but I would have preferred one and paid less for the pleasure. Perhaps this could be made clearer?
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2024Lots of choices I’ve enjoyed the dishes I’ve made

Many lovely, healthy recipes inside! Recommend to anyone looking to eat better, cleaner. Only problem is some listed ingredients are not available in the USA. You'll have to improvise but final eating outcome is still fabulous. Enjoy!
