Perfect Presentation Platters
I used to avoid Salads because I just didn’t have time to wash, chop, and prep all of the fixings, but Walmart’s products make this SO easy for a great price! Here’s what I used:
Salad Prep: I love the Salad Spinner for perfectly dried greens, the Apple Slicer for effortless apple prep, and the Vegetable Chopper that handled both veggies and crispy bacon with ease. 🥓 For homemade dressing, this Salad Dressing Shaker is the best!
Serving Platters: That Wooden Serving Board is a steal for under $20, combined with a 3-piece Wooden Spoon set for under $10!
Halloween Kitchen Links: You can find that beautiful Haunted House Cookie Jar at Pottery Barn! I also love those elegant MacKenzie-Childs Striped Pumpkins set or her Boo Pumpkins Set, which is a bit less expensive.
Can I Prep This Fall Cobb Salad Board in Advance?
Yes! You can wash and prep all the veggies the day before (just store in a Tupperware container or Ziploc bag and refrigerate.) However, I’d recommend waiting to prep the apples and hard-boiled eggs until close to serving time so they stay fresh.
Storing Leftovers
Place any leftovers from your Fall Cobb Salad Board in an airtight Tupperware container and refrigerate, where it should stay fresh for 2-3 days (I also love having this on a wrap for lunch!)
Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this Salad Board as much as I did! For more variations of amazing Salad Boards, I hope you love our Epic Cobb Salad Board, beautiful Wedge Salad Board, or this easy Wedge Salad Bar. Enjoy, friends!
