When I was a student and lucky enough to be invited anywhere, I was really looking for something like lasagna, not lettuce.
Well, that was then and this is now.
Most teens and college kids today are very health conscious (read: fashion conscious) and don’t want to spend hours in the gym burning off nachos every time there’s a get together.
So, an easy and great looking solution that is all about early prep and not about clean up is to serve a big salad bar! Salad bars create such a spectacular feast for the eyes, you don’t need a centerpiece. And you can get as creative as you want. You can use just about anything and everything from toasted garbanzo beans and roasted peppers to marinated olives and feta.
Also, they won’t feel guilty about splurging on dessert because dinner was so healthy and low in calories!
So, the next time the big kids are coming, think fun, festive and SKINNY and create a big salad bar!
