Who says that salad must be served in a salad bowl and tossed?
One of the most exciting things about salad is its versatility. A beautiful and delicious salad can incorporate so many disparate ingredients and the contrast of colors, textures and flavors makes each salad unique.
Today’s salad is about layering a gorgeous vessel with different vegetables and toppings. Its effortless simplicity achieves an elegance that highlights the colorful and flavorful vegetables themselves.
This salad is prepared on a rose gold hammered elongated platter with the ingredients placed in long tiers. The vibrant colors of the romaine lettuce, shredded fresh beets, rainbow peppers and heirloom tomatoes speak for themselves.
