How can I elevate a plain salad for a Pampered Chef show?

[chefw]

hey all,
I have a show Friday and the hostess just wants me to demonstrate a "salad" - a good ol', plain salad. Any ideas and tips on the different veggies/tools I can use? I'm thinking
cucumber - mandoline
eggs/olives - egg slicer
carrot - crinkle cutter?
tomato - tomato knife
onion-food chopper
cheese - cheese grater
dots large round bowl to display the salad

any other suggestions? thanks!

zester/scorer to make the grooves down the cucumber
new corer to take the core out of tomato
broccoli new forged knife
colander bowls to drain veggies
vshaped cutter for radishes I cut around the middle then I have 2 "flowers"

Carolyn,

What recipe to you make in this? I tried the Ceasar one and did not like it.

The Colassal Chopped Salad in the new S/B cookbook (actually a recycled recipe from a couple of years ago!) is very good, and shows alot of tools.

If you want to add bacon, you should make it in the bar pan in the oven, then cut it with the kitchen shears.If you don't have some of the new tools, maybe you could borrow them from your director or cluster-mate for the night?I would also shred some fresh cheese on it with the deluxe cheese grater!

Was just going to suggest that one! I saw a Cooking Show Live with Marna Ross last spring and that's what she made.

Or chicken breast, too. Heck, saute some chicken in cookware, do bacon in stoneware, and you've covered both collections!
