The Salad Lab Cookbook Giveaway

Enter our US giveaway to win one of two copies of The Salad Lab – Whisk, Toss, Enjoy!: Recipes for Making Fabulous Salads Every Day by Darlene Schrijver.

When Darlene Schrijver was compiling her favorite salad recipes for her daughter who was off to college a friend asked, “Why don’t you film the directions for making recipes instead and post them on TikTok? She’s always on there anyway.” Darlene started out making videos of classic and retro salads and thought it would be fun to measure the ingredients with test tubes and beakers since her daughter was a science major. (She sells beakers on her website!) She called her TikTok account The Salad Lab to encourage the spirit of experimentation. Soon, her following began to grow rapidly when Darlene would attempt to recreate a celebrity’s favorite salad or a recipe inspired by a dish from a restaurant.

From Bella Hadid to Kylie Jenner’s favorite salads to completely unique creations featured for the first time, Darlene’s careful instructions and smart salad-making tips are sure to inspire anyone to crave a healthy salad.

All beautifully photographed, there are also drink serving recommendations for every dish, plus a section of staple recipes that can be turned to again and again for dressing and basics. Salads have never been more fun to make—or more delicious and you don’t need to buy a lab coat to participate!
