As one of the world’s most popular dishes – enjoyed as appetizers, light snacks or meals all on their own – salads are a perfect way to eat fresh foods. Particularly during spring, when fruits, veggies and salad greens are most abundant, salads are a smash for gatherings and get-togethers.

While you can prepare a special version like Caesar or cobb for a crowd, perhaps the best way to serve a group is to simply let guests create their own favorite blends. Set out a few varieties of greens like romaine, iceberg, spinach and kale then let friends and family get creative with these tasty topping ideas.
