Food: Mini Salads & Perfect Size Containers

When you're planning a reception, lots of times you don't think about including salad in the mix.  To get your veggies, you might opt for a veggie tray.  That's kinda boring if you ask me.  I'm all about the presentation.  Here are some fun bite-size salads and darling little containers that everyone would enjoy.

Wondering what you might want to serve your salad in?  Here are some serving options.  First up - disposables from Think Garnish.  They have some great ideas on their website if you are looking for more inspiration.

Looking for china options?  My favorite places to head are CB2, West Elm, World Market and Pier 1.  My style is simple and I tend to lean towards white because I don't like the food to compete with the dish.  One thing to keep in mind - don't think you always need to use a bowl for salad.  Try a marini glass or a shot glass.  Out of the box and unique, that's what makes a statement.

Currently Obsessed No. 3 - Random Musing

My current obsessions:

1) That jcrew dress because it's just so darling.

2) The Worldmarket metal chairs would make a lovely addition to our dining room.

3) Those Anthropologie plates that I used in my inspired table post - well I loved them so much that I bought them.

4) The Stella & Dot bangles would make a great summer accessory - don't you think?

5) The jcrew sea grass tote would be perfect for our summer boating adventures.

6) The conversation is my latest obsession - the content and the messages are so good.
