Sides & Salads

Dinner calls for a lovely starter and appropriate side dishes. Here are a few of our client's favorites:
  • Spring salad with fresh strawberries, oranges, apples and raspberry vinaigrette
  • Tuscan salad with crisp romaine, kalamata olives, feta cheese, grape tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette
