Foodie Friday: Serve Up A Spring Salad


 Yesterday we talked about outdoor entertaining. And one of the easiest and most refreshing dishes to serve outside is a crisp cool salad. So today I bring to you six fabulous salad recipes and chef's tools for your entertaining inspiration.  Enjoy! 

Spectacular Dirty Martini Salad
I am not a martini drinker, but I do love a martini glass. And a dash of liquor usually makes anything taste better. This salad calls for 1/4 cup vodka. I am sure that gin would work well, too. Love serving the salad in a martini glass.

Mango Wood Salad Bowl Set
Handcrafted and ever so good looking. It's under $50.




Strawberry Chicken Salad
The White Salsamic Tarragon Dressing sounds delish! It also does double duty as a chicken marinade. What a great idea!

French Bull Salad Bowl
I have long been a fan of this brand of kitchen accessories. So fun, and they are melamine.

Lemon Scallops Over Greens
No dressing is necessary because all of the pan drippings are poured over the greens!

Cuisinart Large Salad Spinner
Call me picky, but I would much rather have this item in white than the normal green. P.S. I don't have one, but I need one!

Crunchy Thai Salad With Peanut Dressing
This would be a big hit at home, where everyone loves anything Thai.

The Collective Brass Salad Servers
A good looking set that is oh so giftable.

Blueberry Salad With Delicious Sweet Lemon Dressing
I made this for my Easter Brunch. It was pretty and a big hit. That salad dressing was super delicious!

Mario Lucca Giusti Lente Salad Bowl
Great for indoor and outdoor use!


Salmon Club Salad
This salad may just be the star of the edit. It features well seasoned {is there any other way?} salmon, cispy bacon, homemade croutons, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the yummiest basil pesto dressing.

Muraglia Lemon Agrumato Olive Oil
A great vinaigrette begins with a good olive oil. The cruet makes for a nice gift for anyone.
