Soups and Salads

When I’m hosting, I always like to have a dish that’s fresh, flavorful, and easy to prepare ahead of time. Salads are especially great when hosting because they don’t require any oven space—something that’s so important to think through when planning a menu. As a professionally trained chef and former event planner, I know that the best meals strike a balance between practical and impressive—so you’ll find plenty of make-ahead options here to help you stay out of the kitchen and enjoy time with your guests.
