#1 BESTSELLING COOKBOOK! An overwhelmingly gorgeous cookbook packed with simple and delicious recipes for salads and more!

There's nothing a Mandy's salad can't fix. Want an explosion of color, texture, flavor and fabulousness? Look no further. Inside the pages of this stunning cookbook (and the Mandy's restaurants it's named after) lies everything you need to take your salad game from a meh-maybe, to wooooah, baby!!

Mandy's gourmet salads are a jewel of Montreal's (jam-packed) food scene. What started as a 3ft counter at the back of Mimi & Coco clothing store is now an 8 location success story, with ongoing expansion in every direction. Behind Mandy's are the irresistable Wolfe sisters, Mandy and Rebecca. Mandy is in charge of menu inspiration and creation; Rebecca leads the design of all their restaurant locations. More is more is the mantra for both: more colour, more texture, more vibrancy, more life!

In Mandy's Gourmet Salads, Mandy and Rebecca talk you through how to create their coveted salads at home, including easy prep steps for essential ingredients, how to mix their famous dressings, and how to combine flavours and textures to create a salad masterpiece. Also inside are recipes for Mandy's nutritious, filling and fantastic grain bowls (for those who want a bit more sustenance) as well as chapters dedicated to smoothies and sweets (sharing Mandy's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe for the first time...). Mandy's Gourmet Salads is a feast, for the eyes as well as the tastebuds.

More Mandy's, their bestselling follow up cookbook, is avaiable to buy now too!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Montreal salad shop’s first cookbook isn’t just about how to artfully compose the perfect salad: it’s the story of two sisters and a shared love of good food." — Chatelaine

“With brightly coloured photos of greens, bowls and sweets practically popping off the pages, Mandy’s Gourmet Salads will inspire summer picnics, BBQs and much more.” — HELLO!

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

From "Our Salads"

What sets Mandy’s apart from all the other salad joints out there?

A lot. But mostly: ratios and top-quality everyyyything—plus very caring staff and the ambience of our locations (more on that later). We’re essentially a salad lab, one with weekly creative meetings where we try all the new flavor combinations of the season and also retest our current menu items. We’re always thinking about ratios, both in the balance of our dressings and for our salads as a whole (e.g., no sogginess!).

It’s really easy to f*#k up the ratio of a salad (too soggy, too much acid, too bitter), so getting it right is something we spend a lot of time on. Our general rules? Well, texturally, we like to make sure there are equal parts creaminess (avocado in almost every salad, or a nice soft cheese!), crunchiness (pita, tortilla, toasted nuts or seeds, or a crunchy vegetable), tartness—either from citrus (lemon or lime) in the salad dressing or tangy fruit in the salad (pomegranate seeds, pear, apple, cranberries)—and always—always—fat (olive oil, mayonnaise, egg, cheese, nuts, or, yes, avocado again).

Our flavor combinations are often globally inspired, but whenever we can, we use local and organic ingredients (almost always). We have a special “Monthly Salad” every month, and these are always in line with the seasons. During our Canadian winter months for example, we use fewer tomatoes and berries, but we ramp up on pears, apples, pumpkin, kale, and of course root vegetables like sweet potatoes, beets, squash, leeks, garlic, and fennel. And we crave our grain bowls (more about those on page 173) and farro and seeds to keep us going through those −30°C months!

In the summer in Quebec, it’s a produce free-for-all and an annual reminder of how lucky we are to live where we do. A combination of fresh blueberries, melons, corn, peas, tomatoes, and peaches all make appearances in our salads. And being located on the shores of the Saint Lawrence River means that spring brings a whole host of crabby, clammy, shrimpy, lobstery seafood goodness our way too.

One of the most beautiful cook books I have seen. It is a feast for the eye and for the tummy. My 5 and half years old girl loves to cook with me. When she saw the pictures, jumping up and down with excitement, she could not decide which recipe should we make first…so she decided we will make “ALL of them now! Right mommy??”
Thank you Mandy and Rebecca for creating such a marvelous product.

Well laid out and easy to navigate, despite other comments to the contrary.
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2023
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
Some of the comments about the index and how to navigate this book (and its sequel) made me think a little bit longer about ordering these, but I've bought both and read through them and I'm keeping them.

First up, I've found criticisms of the Index to be invalid; if you know the name of the recipe you're looking for, each recipe is listed by name in the Contents at the front of the book, in Chapter, with page number. The Index follows the same format as all the other cookbooks I own - individual ingredients are listed alphabetically, and the recipes in which they appear are listed below them, by title, with page numbers. So if you don't like the Index in the "Mandy's" cookbooks, then you don't like the Index in *any* cookbook.

Secondly, yes, the recipes for the salad dressings are listed separately from the recipe for the rest of the salad, in their own chapter, and some dressings do use another dressing recipe as a "base" to which you add more ingredients. This would indeed be bothersome to people who want everything all on one page, but I think it's a space saver, considering that individual dressings are used in multiple salads. It's also less visually intimidating because listing out the full salad recipe as well as the full dressing recipe each time would create a larger "wall of text" and the reader may erroneously draw the conclusion that the recipe is a lot of work or very time consuming to prepare.

The "Mandy's" cookbooks are not at all difficult to navigate and are definitely worth a try!

I love the recipes from this book but the book is so disorganized. I went to make the endless summer salad. I had to 1. Shop at multiple grocery stores for the ingredients 2. Prepare marinated tofu 24 hours in advance. 3 page through SIX pages for one recipe. For example, it says make the salad dressing. Well the salad dressing is actually two dressings, on guess what, two more pages. The heck??

My husband and I eat salad now at least 4 times a week!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
This recipe book is a total game changer for us. We are tired of the usual salads that I have been making so I purchased this one with the hopes of incorporating more raw veggies into our diet. First salad I made was the R&D Extraordinaire Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette. The combination of greens, strawberries, carrots and pita chips is so delicious! I did not care for the balsamic dressing though. It called for too much oil. The next time I made it I decided to use a different recipe and I am very pleased. The Fave Salad is also good but my favorite so far is the Shanghai Salad. Oh my, it’s delicious and so is the dressing! It was so good that I ate it 3 times this week. My husband (not a salad lover) asked for seconds. Like, what?!!

Get this book! You won’t regret it!

I own a ton of cookbooks that I never use. This one has so many amazing recipes! It's also an interesting read. While I don't normally read the whole book and just skip straight to the recipes, I took the time to read all of the preamble, and it's actually pretty good. If you're looking to switch up your salad routine, it's a good one!

If you’re thinking of buying it, you should. I purchased hoping to REALLY enjoy salads (and not just eat out of necessity). I read this book cover to cover, it is visually pleasing and I love the stories about their friends and families and the recipes origin stories. So far - I’ve made three salads with three different dressing and three different proteins. And I REALLY enjoyed everything so far. Can’t wait to make more!

All 7 salads I’ve made have been great, and they all look appetizing to me. Like how it’s basic salad, mixed greens recipes. I’ve ordered other salad recipe with hard to find, exotic ingredients, and not dark greens based

And this adds grain bowls as well another good lunch or dinner option

Every recipe so far has been amazing. I really can't say enough things about how good these salads are

I was looking for a way to get more vegetables in my diet, but in a tasty way and this book delivers! Recipes are delicious, even ones I was nervous of. There can be quite a few ingredients for each recipe but a lot of them overlap with other recipes. I don’t particularly care about the life/business story of the
authors, I could do without that but the recipes are top notch!!
