Mini Salad Bar For Picky In-Laws

• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 1 lb mesclun or 1 lb Italian salad mix
• 1/2 lb raw spinach
• 1 head romaine lettuce
• 3 -5 cucumbers
• 3 -5 bell peppers (mixed colors prefered)
• 3 -5 garden tomatoes or 1 -2 pint cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 lb baby carrots
• 1/2 lb celery rib
• black olives (optional)
• green olives (optional)
• crouton (optional)
• salad dressing

1. Wash, trim, and chop or tear all greens. Put the iceberg in one bowl, the mesclun in another bowl, the spinach in another, and the romaine in another.
2. Clean and slice the cucumbers. We don't peel garden cucumbers, only store cucumbers. You can if you prefer. Arrange in a shallow dish.
3. Wash tomatoes. If full-size, slice them into thick rounds and arrange in a shallow dish. If cherry tomatoes, take stems off and put into a bowl.
4. Put the remaining items into more small bowls.
5. Provide a selection of dressings, homemade or store-bought. I suggest several variations from Recipe #213989.
6. Note -- if there is something you know EVERYONE likes increase the quantity as needed.
7. A bunch of attractive, coordinating bowls are very nice if you have them, but if your in-laws are as informal and loving as mine are the cereal bowls will do just fine. :D.
