Other than, carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes, I don’t recollect eating any other raw vegetable until a few years ago. The vegetables I’ve relished were typically steamed and cooked in a curry sauce. The curry would dominate leaving the aroma of fresh produce behind. Even the color, texture and intricate details of fresh vegetables such as beets, tomatoes, radishes, etc., would disappear. Now, I thoroughly enjoy colorful vegetable salads, especially when presented as the ones below!
Mother nature has provided us with an abundant supply of brilliant looking vegetables. But, creating a good-looking salad is an art. It is more than tossing and dressing up vegetables. The color combination, texture, and presentation are key. Most of them start off with greens, and the colors, proteins, and dazzling dressings are added on top. Flavors typically stay when fruits and vegetables are mixed raw or when lightly steamed. Each will add it’s unique taste, nutrients and personality to the dish. And, good salads start with the best ingredients – you would have to carefully pick your produce, and slice them the way they look the best.

Those are some colorful pretty salads! I am motivated to eat cleaner and these are some great options. I would love to try some of these and put them in mason jars and store them in the fridge.
I love colorful salads that are full of variety…I just never have all of the ingredients needed to pull it off. Oh wow, that Citrus Fennel and Avocado Salad looks amazing – that is definitely something that I would want to try. Another one that caught my eye is the Strawberry Pecan Salad.
