Salad station

A salad is always a good option for a light and fresh meal at a summer party. Prepare two or three different salads, vegetarian, chicken, meat, seafood or pasta. For a freestyle version, just prepare a few salad bases, chop different vegetables and fruits, and propose some proteins such as shredded chicken, chopped eggs, cheese or sautéed shrimps. With a choice of dressings or sauces, you have a perfect salad bar for your guests to personalise their salad to their heart’s desire.

Quick tips

Plan in advance: search recipes in Cookidoo® that can be made ahead or that are quick to prepare and create your own “Best summer party” collection.

Finger food: shrink down your food for easy serving and eating. Serve it in individual portions, in small cups, glasses or jars, or in bite-size pieces.

Drinks: always have non-alcoholic options. For a different twist, freeze fruit or mint with water in ice cubes tray.

Fruit and vegetables: keep it light and fresh by cutting up different vegetables for dips, such as carrot, cucumber, celery, courgette or kohlrabi. Serve fresh fruit, cut in pieces if needed, in a bowl with ice cubes. Guests can add them to fruity and fresh desserts made on the fly, such as the classic Berry foam.
