Essential Salad

This post is not as much about the recipe,as it is presentation. With the mindset that preparing food is an art, I use the bowl, plate, etc. as my pallet.Combining color as well as texture, is not only pleasing to the eye, it is pleasing to the taste buds!

In this salad, I layered, Spring mix and Romaine. Topped with Chopped Fuji apple, Chick peas, Pecans (unsalted),Grapes, Blue Cheese, and Sunflower seeds. I topped with a light Balsamic dressing.

I have recently begun eating as a  Nutritarian (click the link to see what that is)- so that is why I named this the Essential Salad, as it includes many of the elements of eating to live.(minus the cheese) I am still in transition, and I do throw a little cheese in here and there.
