DIY Salad Bar Board for a Crowd | Easy Entertaining Meal

I recently made this salad board for one of our Christmas parties and I’m kind of kicking myself that I hadn’t thought of this sooner! It really is such an easy way to entertain for a crowd and feed a lot of people without a lot of prep! It also works especially well if you have guests with certain food allergies, sensitivities, or preferences because everyone can make their own salad with the ingredients they want. This can also be customized a million different ways with all kinds of different ingredients! Mine leans more towards an Italian salad with the ingredients but there are so many different possibilities for this!

Spring Peach, Prosciutto, + Parmesan Salad

 I'm typically not a huge fan of fruit in salads but something about spring puts me in the mood for this combo.  This salad has a few of my favorite things: Parmesan, prosciutto, peaches, and pecans.  The flavors work together perfectly, especially the sweetness of the peaches and pecans with the saltiness of the prosciutto and Parmesan!  The lemony vinaigrette is a perfect light and fresh dressing for any spring salad and is the perfect topping for this one as well.  You can find all the ingredients + instructions for pulling this together below!

Burrata, Asparagus, + Prosciutto Salad

 There are few things I love more for spring than a super bright, fresh salad.  This burrata, asparagus, and prosciutto salad is the perfect appetizer spread for a crowd. but is also hearty enough to eat as a weeknight meal.  Creamy burrata is topped with delicious basil pesto and layered on top of peppery arugula, roasted asparagus, salty prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, and perfectly sweet melon balls.  The salad is served with a side of warm, crusty bread that is perfect for scooping up your favorite combination of ingredients.  There are so many layers of flavor in this dish and possible combinations to try with each bite!  We served this as an Easter brunch appetizer and it was the perfect starter for our meal.  It's also SUPER quick and easy to throw together!  I can see this being a regular meal this summer on the patio for sure!
