The heat has arrived here in WV and heating up the kitchen is not something I want to do. We do cook on our grill frequently, but sometimes a big tray of fresh veggies, with all of these fixins is really satisfying.

We were having salads for lunch after church one day, so this board was created. I had some leftover filet mignon, a thick piece of ham and turkey, and these veggies in the refrigerator. I only have the one picture, because I only decided to share it after I had made it.
Another good thing about a salad meal is that you can use whatever you already have. Even a small amount of a food looks great on a board.

For the toppings, I set out some garbanzo beans, cheeses, some nuts and cranberries, and 2 hard boiled eggs. Add your favorite salad dressings. It did turn out to be a Super Chef Salad.

Any variety of veggies, cheese, croutons, or fruits can be used.

If you do not have a wooden board, creating one on any platter or baking sheet works great.  I have actually bought new baking sheets at Sam’s Club and created a tray to take to parties, so I could leave the trays there.
