How
cute are these little baskets filled with salad!
Make the baskets ahead of time, they will
last about 3 days.
Serve your favorite greens in them... I like a Caesar!
put them on the same plate as a main
entree,
or serve them along side a sandwich...
I served them with a Crab
Croissant Sandwich
... see my picture
your guests will love them!
or if you prefer, put them on a large platter on a buffet table
and offer different salad dressings for a gourmet treat
