A Semi-Homemade Ladies’ Lunch
We’ve all been there: you’re having pals over for lunch, but a fully homemade spread is simply not in the cards. There is no shame in the store-bought game, but if you’d like serve something that’s a cut above takeout, here’s what you do:
Buy a few pints of your favorite Southern Lady Salad (I’m partial to the chicken tarragon from The Food Company and egg salad from The Picnic) and some squishy rolls or biscuits.
Split each bun, spread with your Southern Lady Salad of choice, and then gussy them up with fresh herbs & seasonings you have on hand, like:
chicken + currants + chopped parsley
chicken + tarragon + slivered amonds
egg salad + fresh dill + piment d’espelette
Finish with a sprinkle of Maldon (from your bucket, duh!) and embrace being the semi-homemade queen you are.
