Here’s a salad that will feed a crowd any night of the week or perfect for a celebration such as Cinco De Mayo!
Almost 3 feet of salad, now THAT’S a Statement!
Big salads are always in style! Make a Statement Salad to feed a crowd – or – just your family!
I have many over-sized cheese boards that I’ve been collecting over the years for parties, catering and such. These long boards make a perfect base for a salad. I had left over steak – marinated, chargrilled tenderloin beef to be exact.
Creating this salad is as easy as it looks and I really don’t have a specific recipe, although I have the ingredients below in recipe-form. Make it your own by adding your favorite ingredients, vinaigrette and protein.
