I would put together a cobb salad with romaine lettuce (cut into large chuncks off the head with the crinkle cutter), bacon (ridged pan), tomato (veggie wedger), Cucumber (mandoline/simple slicer), and put them all in the large collapsible bowl. Pass the bowl around with the salad choppers and let everyone try it, to chop the salad. The bowl is lightweight enough to pass around, everyone tries the choppers. When it gets back to you, voila, chopped salad, grate cheese (grater of your choice), top with dressing (Measure Mix and pour), display on dots large round bowl. 10 minutes salad, easily over $150 in products, happy campers. If you don't want to pass the bowl, have them come up and chop the salad, but then not all with try it and it's not as "wow".

Here are some ideas for putting together a cobb salad platter while waiting for the pizza to cook:1. Start by arranging a bed of mixed greens or lettuce on a large platter. You can use a variety of greens such as romaine, spinach, arugula, and kale.2. Slice and arrange hard-boiled eggs, cooked and sliced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, and diced avocado on top of the greens. These are all traditional ingredients in a cobb salad.3. Add some color and crunch to the platter by adding sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and diced red onion.4. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese over the top of the salad.5. For a twist, you can also add some grilled vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms to the platter.6. To make it more filling, you can also add some cooked quinoa or couscous to the salad.7. Serve the salad with a side of vinaigrette dressing for guests to drizzle over their portion.8. For a fun presentation, you can also arrange the ingredients in rows or sections on the platter, similar to a traditional cobb salad presentation.9. If you want to make it a bit more interactive, you can also provide guests with small bowls or plates and let them create their own individual cobb salads using the ingredients on the platter.10. Lastly, don't forget to add some fresh herbs, such as chopped parsley or cilantro, for a pop of flavor and color. Enjoy your cobb salad platter while waiting for the pizza to cook!
