Happy Monday, I hope that you had a fantastic weekend!
Motivation Monday: “Eat better, feel better”

When DOLE asked me if I would like to host a Salad Circle Party, I was pumped. Wait… beyond pumped… I was overly excited! Before I could even respond, I had my party completely planned out. I had visions of cute little fruit and veggies balloons hanging from the tree and all of my friends joining together to make one giant Friendship Salad. After my reply to DOLE, “When is the soonest I can host my party?” my vision quickly became a reality. DOLE was kind enough to send me the perfect starter kit and basis of my salad party: a plethora of fresh greens of DOLE Extra Veggie mixes with Snap Peas, Grape Tomatoes, and Garden Vegetables, some gorgeous Dole Hand Picked Selections Red Butter, Green Butter, and Green Oak whole lettuce heads, along with a wooden salad bowl, matching tongs and awesome goodies for my guests! Each guest received a DOLE reusable grocery bag, DOLE salad or cut-vegetable item coupons, DOLE fresh vegetable product or berry coupons, and a Salad Circle Recipe Booklets, and Salad Guides!

When I invited my friends to come over for a Salad Circle Party, I think everyone was a bit confused! Seriously, a party for salad? Oh yes, but not your average party or your average salad. This is the Olympics of salad parties.

Instead of preparing a salad for my guests, I wanted them to be a part of it! I wanted to try something new and have each person take part in the making of a Friendship Salad. I requested that each guest bring an ingredient that began with the first letter of their first name. As the host and official “Salad Guide” (thanks for the amazing apron, DOLE!) I started the Friendship Salad with a bed of fresh DOLE greens. We went around the table in a circle tossing each of our ingredients on top of the crisp mix of DOLE lettuces, and I couldn’t help but wonder what this masterpiece would taste like. I actually cringed at one point… We had quite an interesting ingredient list going on! After everyone put their ingredients into the bowl, I completed the Friendship Salad with a drizzle of dressing and gave it a nice toss. The mishmash of ingredients blended into a gorgeous array of colors and incredible flavor. Hesitant to try the salad, I took my first bite and was pleasantly surprised as to how oddly, but perfectly, the flavors came together. You would not believe that this combination of less than ordinary ingredients was seriously DOLEicious! It turned out so well that I and many of my friends ended up going back for seconds! A Salad Circle Party will definitely be a new summer tradition in my kitchen. It’s a fun, affordable, and healthy way to entertain guests and every salad will always be different!

  1. My favorite ingredient to add to a salad is hummus!

  2. Lauren on said:

    Right now, I’m really into artichoke hearts. I hadn’t had them before, so I’m sure this obsession is just because it’s something new. I also love to add mushrooms and shredded carrots in salads because they are so filling. Yum! I’m excited to try this event.

  7. My favorite ingredient is an avocado! After cutting them up they add a great creamy texture. Then, if paired with sunflower oil, the best salad is created!

  8. Rebecca C. on said:

  11. What a fun party! I love the produce balloons- and it looks like your guests definitely embraced the theme. Some of the ingredients were pretty creative.
    I really have a hard time picking my favorite salad ingredient. I LOVE salad. One ingredient that I don’t always see at a salad bar that I enjoy on my salad is banana peppers. I’ll have to go with that as my “favorite” salad ingredient.

  12. Melissa Mekdeci on said:

    My favorite salad ingredient is really a tie. For a savory salad I love artichoke hearts. But for a sweeter salad I love mandarin oranges!

  13. What a cute post, and the salad party looked like so much fun! My current favorite salad ingredient is tzatziki! It makes a great option for a salad dressing.

  14. I LOVE pickled beets! I like the big unsliced beets from a jar, but my favorite beets are pickled by my grandma!

    • PS: love the idea for guest to come with an ingredient that starts with the same letter as their first name! Now I’m playing a game in my head to come up with a fruit or vegetable for each person in my family! Did you give suggestions? I wouldn’t have thought of Mejdool Dates for M. Great one!

  15. Kate S. on said:

    My favorite is technically 2 ingredients b/c it’s the mix that’s amazing!! Pineapple and balsamic vinegar!

  16. Veronique on said:

  20. Jessica on said:

    What a great idea – I’ve never heard of this! I’d love to try it in Tennessee, I’m “new” here and I’ve found that a good number of people don’t value a healthy lifestyle (I’m not saying all!!!).

    My favorite salad topper is definitely hard boiled eggs! YUM!

    I think a DOLE Salad Circle Party is something my co workers would enjoy…and something I’d love to host!

It has been about 2 months of clean eating and we are feeling fabulous!!! Rebbecca! You have been a great source of ideas and support! Thanks and we’re going to do a Salad Party soon. Hopefully a Dole Salad Party!

But if I had to pick one thing, I’d have to say SPROUTS! I don’t often get a chance to buy them, but when I do, they’re gone quickly! Salads, Sandwiches, all sorts of goodies!

  78. Christine on said:

    My favorite thing to put on a salad is an apple. It’s can add a tart tang like a granny smith a sweetness like a honeycrisp or even be in the middle like a fuji. Too many choices to name but it’s always adds that extra something I love with my salad. Of course then you get to pair it with delicious things like walnuts and feta cheese or even Brie but apples is my #1 ingredient!

  128. Hello Catherine,

    i accidently stumbled across your blog yesterday, and i must confess i have spent hours reading it since then.
    You are an inspiring and beautiful woman and I love to read your recipes and ideas.

    I am a veggie since i was nine, (nearly 15 years now! :) but your way to eat is truly inspiring and motivating me to loose some weight and become healthier as well.

    I will check the next bio-supermarket after work if I can get a few of the ingredients you are using (most of them I have never heart of before ;)

    So… just wanted to let you know you have some fans in austria, Europe, as well :)

    xo,
    Lisa

And, on top of that, they are packed with so many great nutrients for him. It’s been a great way to encourage him to eat his veggies!
