I think one of the most important aspects of food is how it looks. It doesn't matter what I'm eating or where it came from, I put it on a plate, or bowl, or some serving dish that makes the experience feel better. I hate eating chips out of bag, or opening a jar of olives and letting friends scoop the olives right from the jar. To me all of this is akin to sucking wine out of a bottle rather then pouring it in a glass where it can be best enjoyed.
So today I'm posting a VERY simple first course salad that in my opinion is a work of art because of its simplicity...

And picture four is probably the best view of the whole salad that included:
- Bed of Organic Micro-Greens
- Heirloom Tomato
- Baby Cucumbers
- Baby Bells
- Chives
- Basil crushed Olive Oil
- Cracked pepper and Kosher Salt
Now it's your turn to take food and turn it into art!!!
