Do you like to make this for events or any occasion?

I like those seasonal greens topped with mandarin oragnes and goat cheese. Maybe some craisins. And rasberry vinegarette dressing.

I'd say egg salad for the Spring. I never had made it for any events.

I make a wonderful taco salad.  It makes a ton, though, so I only make it for pot lucks or when I think we'll eat it pretty quickly.

Perkins used to make a steak salad in a bread bowl that I used to LOOOOOVE.

for pot lucks or to feed a crowd I make pasta salad loaded with spring veggies. I can make it for 4 or 100 just by adjusting my amounts.  and since the only the pasta is cooked, my kitchen does not get all that hot

I make this for any occasion. I have never used canned beets; I boil them in apple cider, water and onions.

Spring Greens With Beets & Goat Cheese
 
2/3 C. pecan halves
3 T. balsamic vinegar divided
1 T. water
1 T. sugar
1/4 C. olive oil
2 T. maple syrup
1 t. whole grain mustard
1/8 t. salt
1 (5 oz) pkg. spring mix salad greens
1 (14 oz) can sliced beets drained
1 C. crumbled goat cheese
 
In a large heavy skillet, cook the pecans, 1 T. vinegar and water over medium heat until nuts are toastd, about 4 minutes.  Sprinkle with sugar.  Cook and stir 2-4 minutes or until sugar is melted.  Spread on foil to cool. In a small bowl combine the oil, syrup, mustard, salt and remaining vinegar.  Refrigerate until serving. In a large bowl combine the salad greens and dressing, toss to coat.  Divide among 8 salad plates.  Top with beets, goat cheese and glazed pecans.
