Zen and the Art of Salad Presentation

December 25, 2008 | Articles | Share





There is a “Zen” of raw food presentation I am striving for, on a personal level… because it is also important to “take in” the food visually as well.

A Typical Salad...

A Question To My Readers

Do you find these food diary/logs interesting? Perhaps helpful? Let me know… for sometimes I get a bit tired of posting them. It can get a bit tedious, but it’s important for me to also log what I eat on a daily basis, and get feedback from my readers as well. I always welcome tips and suggestions.

But, I guess for now I’ll keep going…

Breakfast

  • 1 – cup sun tea
  • 1 – cup grapes
  • 1 – small avocado

Mid-Morning

  • 1 – large salad (lettuces, micro-greens, dill, cilantro, red cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, sprouts, olives, avocado with oil and vinegar)
  • 1 – glass of water with 1 tbsp of Aloe Vera juice
  • 1 – cup sun tea

Late Lunch

  • 1 – large salad (lettuces, micro-greens, dill, cilantro, red cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, sprouts, green olives, radishes, cucumber, orange bell pepper with lemon, oil and vinegar)

  • 2 – carrots (juiced)
  • 1 – glass of water with 1 tbsp of Aloe Vera juice

Mid-Afternoon

    I find your food diary to be *very* interesting, and your photos to be incredibly inspirational. I am just starting out with raw food and watching your progress is helpful. Your presentation is just gorgeous. Friends ask "why bother?" when it's just for me, but when my meal is aesthetically beautiful, it lends another dimension of satisfaction. Thanks for your amazing site!
