A Summer Salad Board!

A summer salad board is a wonderful way to present a light, casual meal.  I’m a big fan of charcuterie boards and this twist is one of my favorites!  It’s a super easy way to present a healthy meal option in beautiful fashion.  If you have a large board or platter you’re equipped with what you need…along with your nibbling options!  You can go right from your kitchen to patio table and allow your family or guests to dine in serve-yourself style.  Just like a traditional charcuterie, pile on all your favorites for a customized meal!  Let’s enjoy summer with no-stress outdoor dining!

Alfresco dining is one of my favorite things to do!  Any time of year is ok with me…but early fall is my top pick overall.   The weather is comfortable and the changing garden makes a beautiful backdrop for a casual table to gather around!  A blend of late summer and the approaching new season is a perfect combo of color and texture for creating a warm & cozy vibe.  Today I’d love to share some inspiration for outdoor dining with hints of fall.  Summer might be winding down but there’s still time to soak up outdoor time…
