We were having Chef’s salad for dinner and I am pretty sure some clever chef somewhere, long ago, came up with this title because it sounds a lot better then “Clean Out the Refrigerator Salad,” which is what it basically is!
To jazz things up a bit, I decided to set it up salad bar style, and let everyone make their own.
A little of this and a little of that looks pretty inviting when it’s given a little style. I used the boxes from Crates full of Spring to add different heights and interest
“Eye candy” in small bowls to accent the ingredient colors, and a dinner plate on a small cake stand offers a bowl of smoked chicken and some sliced deli meats and cheese
We are all thinking Spring of course and Green, and what says Easter better than some fat orange carrots?
Home made dressing makes it look like you went to some effort is a nice touch, especially if you can make it early in the day to give the flavors a chance to blend

These are the Wacky Weeds growing in my Salad Bar, I was hoping for flowers, but they turned into weeds~ the story of my gardening life!!
Cheesy, crunchy, seasoned puff pastry sticks take no time at all and add a tasty special treat to a salad of leftovers
This is just another way to play “dress-up”
Taking the everyday ho hum
far away from the everyday hum drum!
Stop back by tomorrow and I’ll have the recipes for you~
