TIP OF THE DAY: Layered Vegetable Salad

If you have veggie-resistant eaters at your table, try turning the vegetables into an artistic presentation. Good packaging can make what’s inside much more exciting.
Here’s a fun way to incorporate vegetables into a meal with panache. This recipe, from Hidden Valley, uses the company’s Original Ranch Dressing; but you can use blue cheese dressing, vinaigrette, or your dressing of choice. You can serve the vegetables cooked or raw: a crudité salad! You can layer the ingredients in one large glass salad bowl, but individual portions are more appealing. Prep time is 20 minutes; the recipe serves 4. While you can serve it in any dish or salad bowl, the excitement comes from a glass bowl or individual glass. So see what you have: ice cream dishes, large wine goblets or wide-mouth glasses, as shown in the photo. RECIPE: LAYERED VEGETABLE SALAD Ingredients |
