From the simplest Petite Salade Verte to a sophisticated White Nectarine Carpaccio with Microgreen Salad, from the Moroccan Carrot Salad with Golden Raisins, Saffron and Shallots, to the hearty Red Quinoa Salad with Oranges and Thyme-Encrusted Roasted Duck Legs, Salade: Recipes from the Market Table
celebrates the surprising diversity and bold flavors possible in every bowl. Grouped by key ingredient, with stunning full-page photos, delightful anecdotes and recipes that work every time, Salade transforms salads into the highlight of any menu.
Pascale's passion for great food and her genuine love of salads shout from every glorious page of this, her sixth book. She takes inspiration from, among other things: a thoughtful conversation with a grower at the lively farmers market; a quiet stroll through her favorite vineyard; or a raucous picnic with her cousins in the South of France. Pascale builds on simple palettes of delicate lettuces, hearty greens and nutty grains, with luscious fruit like figs, pears and peaches, earthy mushrooms, fragrant herbs and vegetables, all picked at the height of their season for fresh, bright tastes and textures. The result is a compendium of more than 80 salads, brimming with vibrant hues, innovative ingredients and creative flavor combinations.
Wildly colorful, thoroughly engaging and with spectacular dishes that both satisfy and impress, Salade is as beautiful, refreshing and welcome as the first green lettuce leaves of Spring.

"After years of viewing salad as penitence for the weekend's excess, encountering Beale's book was like being presented with the vacation dreamland of greens. Count on California to bring beautiful produce to the table. I'd never seen such beautiful, vibrant salads before, with ingredients so beautifully arranged. Suddenly, I needed salad?and not just one salad, but as many of the salads in the book as I could get my hands on."
?Dakota Kim, Paste Magazine
"When a cookbook captures a single subject in its entirety, the end result is something akin to a memorable song, complete with lyrics, melody and chorus, all perfectly gathered together into a pleasing whole. In Salade: Recipes from the Market Table, that pleasing whole is made up of deliciously lovely studies on the salad in its countless forms. Throughout these beautifully photographed pages, Pascale inspires us to think about salads in many ways: as daily rituals, healthy side dishes, or as hearty meals that can feed a crowd." ?
