Forget boring salads! In this demonstration-style class, you'll discover how fresh, seasonal ingredients can come together to create vibrant, satisfying salads that are worthy of being the centerpiece of any meal. We'll explore how to combine greens, vegetables, proteins, grains, fruits, cheeses, nuts, seeds, and herbs to build salads with delicious flavor, texture, and balance.
You'll also learn how to prepare simple homemade vinaigrettes and dressings and discover versatile ingredient combinations that can be adapted throughout the year. Whether you're looking for healthy weeknight meals, inspiring lunch ideas, or beautiful dishes to share with family and friends, you'll leave with practical techniques, fresh inspiration, and the confidence to create salads you'll be excited to make again and again.
