All You Need To Serve The Perfect Summer Salad
You’ve found your fave recipes on TikTok, so let’s get ready to embrace salad season. Snap up the prettiest bowl, stylish servers and a delicious dressing, then get ready to tuck in to all that healthy nosh.
With warm weather comes ice-cold rosé, al fresco dining and, of course, all kinds of mouth-watering salads. Whatever your preference, from caprese to cobb, you’ll want the accompaniments to be just right. While tossing your leaves and slicing your tomatoes, consider oversized bowls, delicate hand-painted plates and colourful servers for your presentation.
On the high street, be sure to hit up John Lewis. Not only does it stock its own brand, but also Bordallo Pinheiro and Nkuku. For something a little special, look to more boutique brands. Hot Pottery, Late Afternoon, and Skye McAlpine Tavola were all born out of a love for entertaining and good food. Often designed in-house and created by skilled artisans, these beautiful serving dishes and tableware are everything you’d want and need to host this salad season.
Vamp up your salads in stunning hand-painted bowls.
Below, you’ll discover an edit of both decorative and minimalist salad bowls and servers. I’ve opted for bold painted pieces to showcase the rainbow of tomatoes, crisp lettuce and figs, serving spoons hand-crafted from mango wood and unique oil pourers to transform your summer tablescape. Further to that, after I myself fell down a rabbit hole of salad delishness, I couldn’t resist sharing the latest dressings spicing up those seasonal plates. From the classic balsamic dressing by Lucy’s Dressings to the avocado oil by Good Phats, salads have never been better dressed.
Finally, if you’re still looking for some inspiration, I’ve included a selection of recipe books, which, even if you don’t use them, will look super pretty on your kitchen shelf. Win-win.
