What looks like a tall grassy houseplant is actually a pair of salad serving utensils stored in a pot of their own. The 'Salad Plant' was designed by London based duo Black + Blum. The pot can be used for mixing and serving salad dressing when the serving 'leaves' are in use. They look adorably fresh sticking up through a big bowl of salad, and are perfect for outdoor summer dining.

The set of servers and pot are made of melamine, are dishwasher safe and available from the MoMA store for $30.
