I need to make a salad for tonight, and I just grabbed a bunch of stuff this morning on my way out the door like my trifle bowl and mandoline. (with the price of gas I won't drive the 20 miles back home before my mtg.) I was going to "get inspired" today and go to the store and pick up ingredients for whatever I decided to do. This looks perfect! Just wish I had thrown in the julienne peeler. Oh well, I'll buy the matchstick carrots in the bag!

Can I make the Summer Berry Layered Salad ahead of time?
