A Salad For Everyone

 Creating a salad from a crown can be a challenging feat.There is always someone who doesn't;t like tomatoes or wants  extra croutons.However there is a way to please everyone  - a salad tray. This is an easy and pretty tray to make and assemble. It;s also a crowd pleaser,

I found this recipe in the Stop & Shop Weekly food magazine. It really stood out to me because I had my barbecue the next day. Theirs was a Cobb salad tray with the fixings for a Cobb salad. I decided to add my own spin

There are avocados , sliced hard boiled eggs. Morningstar Farms plant based bacon and two kinds of tomatoes - The walnut sized Camaprai and the smaller cherry tomatoes. This proved to be a crowd please for everyone,

These are the croutons I used ,from Dollar General This si Clover valley and they gave the perfect crunch. keep in mind you can sub in almonds ,  or even rice crackers for crunch, Crumbled tacos can work too.

I also microwaved a whole pack of the bacon. This resulted in three platters of it and then they were crumbled.

I also used three sliced avocados (also from Dollar General)  ut if your crowd lives them then I'd recommend add two or three more.

These are the dressings I used but you can add whatever your guests like. I would suggest having two or three  instead of four or five. It can get messy with everyone pouring dressing all over the place. Also try different veggie variations, Cut up bell peppers and onions  for a different and zingier flavor. Jalapenos can be added . As for proteins,try any flavor cheese cubes or strips along with chicken, ham or turkey cubes. What about the salad? I like a good butter lettuce.It's mild yet tasty and the perfect foil for all these add ins.

A salad tray is the way to go for being a barbecue crowd pleaser .Use these add INS or be creative and try some of your favorites. The end result is a tasty salad everyone will love.
