COMPANY'S COMING MULTI LAYERED SALAD
For special events or for show, a deep punch bowl or large glass bowl really shows off this salad. It is a bit harder to layer in a bowl that is rounded but it looks great if you are having it on your table. I personally do not like head lettuce, so I use romaine, spring mix and sometimes add spinach to it.

Steps:
- Toss all ingredients in a large bowl so they are well incorporated then transfer to your serving dish. I serve the dressing on the side so each guest can use what they like.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste.
- Choose a variety of colors and textures: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to company salad recipes. Get creative and try new things.

- Serve your salad immediately: Company salad is best served fresh. If you are making it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and then bring it to room temperature before serving.
