I LOVE big-ass salad bars! They never cease to entertain me! 
During the summer, the Dudley Café in Harvard Yard offers an Extreme Salad Bar, featuring 50+ salad items, as well as rolls, chips, fruit, and drinks. The Salad Bar is located inside, but you can easily take your meal outside to enjoy on the patio in the sunshine. Unfortunately, it’s raining again in Cambridge today! 
Check out this impressive salad bar! It had everything!!!
The salad bar had so many fun toppings! Some things I had never even seen on a salad bar! I pretty much added one of everything to my plate.
I ate lunch with the Director of Crimson Catering and the Food Literacy Project Coordinator to brainstorm a “healthy living” event for my office. After only a few minutes of discussion, we came up with a great idea! Our plan is to offer a tour the Farmer’s Market at Harvard, followed by lunch featuring local ingredients for the members of my office to enjoy. During lunch, the Food Literacy Coordinator will talk about sustainable agriculture and eating local, and we’ll provide people with recipe cards from the featured lunch. I’m really looking forward to the event! 
My “extreme” salad was delicious, interesting, and satisfying– just the way a salad should be! Check out my tips and tricks for Raising the Salad Bar.
In honor of Cookie Friday, I indulged in an oatmeal raisin coconut cookie. So good!
I’m heading to my hometown tonight, so I’m not sure if I will be blogging or not. If not, I’ll be back with my Mexican-themed bridal shower recap!
Happy weekend!!!

Gorgeous. I love salad bars!
I don’t understand what your job is. Can you explain it/how you got it or link me to where you discuss it?
That is an amazing salad bar! Your event sounds fun too! I will have to find a cookie later to celebrate your cookie Friday:) Have fun at the shower, I am sure it will be fabulous!
I LOVE artichoke hearts… I see them so rarely on food blogs but I think they kick ass taste-wise over kale or some other stuff.

I love huge salad bars! It’s nice to have such a variety of ingredients – no prep work or storage required. I love adding croutons and feta cheese to my vegetables

I am total salad bar nut too! I don’t discriminate either–although WF is the best, Jason’s Deli and even Ruby Tuesday have decent offerings. I love seeing how many different colors I can fit onto one plate:)
