Take your salads to the next level with recipes for 56 flavorful, customizable meals featuring 28 creamy, zingy, herby, and spicy dressings from the culinary director of The Salad Project.

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:

CREAMY: Toss the Tahini + Preserved Lemon Dressing with the Sumac Salmon with Honey Carrots, Roasted Broccoli, + Lemony Grains; the Harissa Steak + Giant Couscous with Pickled Onions + Pistachios; the Crispy Spiced Lamb, Eggplant, + Frekkeh with Pickled Onions

ZINGY: Savor the Brown Butter + Miso Vinaigrette with the Roasted Squash, Stracciatella, + Toasted Maple Buckwheat salad and The Octoberfeast: Maple Chicken + Chorizo Grain Bowl. Or try one of Clem’s suggestions to pair it with the Paprika Chicken Thighs with Nutty Grains + Roasted Peppers

HERBY: Have the Caper + Dill Dressing on Crispy New Potatoes, Whipped Ricotta, + Pickled Radish; or enjoy with the Garlic + Thyme Chicken, Butter Bean, + Sun-Dried Tomato salad

SPICY: Indulge in the Spicy Cashew Dressing for the Roasted Eggplant, Spicy Cashew Chickpeas + Kale and the Sesame Soy Steak with Furikake Croutons + Pickled Chiles

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.
