If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the thought of another bland salad, Life-Changing Salads is here to flip the script. Danielle Brown—aka the genius behind HealthyGirl Kitchen—brings the fun, flavor, and freshness to plant-based eating with over 100 recipes that are anything but boring. Whether you're craving a crisp, crunchy chopped salad, a cozy warm bowl, or something totally unexpected like a Caesar pasta salad (yes, please!), this book turns salads into something you’ll actually look forward to eating.

What I love most is how creative but approachable the recipes are—think spring roll salads, no-lettuce meal prep bowls, and creamy dressings made with things like hummus or nondairy yogurt. It’s perfect whether you’re just starting to explore plant-based meals or already living that veggie life and need some new inspo. With Danielle’s guidance, salads go from side dish to star of the show. Trust me, your lunch game is about to glow up in the most delicious way.

This was such a good read! Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!

What a frustrating cookbook. The salad recipes themselves are just okay at best- not a single recipe jumped out at me as inspiring at all. The images are boring, the recipes are basic and unimaginative. The author is more keen on projecting herself as a mom and pushing her plant-based food choices than she is on creating recipes that anyone might actually want to consume.

The most infuriating part of the book itself is the layout. None of the dressing recipes are actually written with the salad recipe- you have to flip around to other parts of the book in order to find the dressing recipes. She has also included "ingredients" in various salads (ie. the 'crab cake' salad), which are just recipes from another cookbook- that you do not have access to without purchase- WHAT!?? If I'd spent money on this book, I would've been so beyond annoyed.

Underwhelming. Very underwhelming. With a title like "Life Changing Salads" I expected so much more.
