Seedless offers easy shape opportunities. Seedles Seedless offers easy shape opportunities. Seedless Watermelon cut into thin slabs looks like lox especially on a long thin platter. Seedless grapes are so cute sliced into contrasting rounds. The green grapes do look a bit dull. Maybe red grapes next time. If you are building a platter collection a long thin one always comes in handy. Instant sophistication. Cut the watermelon slabs casually. No need for perfect triangles. Keep it loose. Plenty of salt and pepper. Olive oil drizzle and lime #platteralthinking #saladbrain. #saladsofinstagram #plattersalad #watermelon

Whizz all this in the blender. Three big peeled tomatoes one cuke small bell pepper one clove garlic small onion. Add a hot pepper if you like. Shot of vinegar. Salt. And a float of olive oil. Keep a pitcher in the fridge! Great afternoon refresher. Adjust as you like. @greendoorgourmet #tomatoes #farmersmarket #summercooking

If you are wondering about that photo I like to use in the back. I got it at the auction selling all the Willis Corroon office art some years ago when they closed the office. I often wonder where it was and how many people walked by it daily without notice. Was it in a conference room. by the break room. In a hallway. The photographer is #jeddevine. Apple in colander. #officeart

Something as simple as prosciutto and melon can be Something as simple as prosciutto and melon can be a fun #saladbrain exercise. Two colors of melon in two contrasting shapes adds interest. Keep the #prosciutto loose. Black pepper ties it all together. My cantaloupe melon balls are not perfect. Made cute little small knobs with an old half teaspoon. They are super sweet so small seemed better. The other melon is cut into informal geometrics. Just #platteralthinking over here and having a little fun. Just make a decision about one ingredient and see where the others want to go. #contrastisgood

It’s corn slab season. Make extra corn on the co It’s corn slab season. Make extra corn on the cob. Out of the fridge cut the corn off the cob in big slabs. Looks so cool in a salad. This salad has another surprise on the bottom mustard cornbread croutons. Spoon a few dollops of whole grain mustard into the cornbread batter. Love how you can see the seeds. Make it with milk not buttermilk so it’s drier and make it very thin. The croutons are on the bottom so they can soak up all the juicy tomato water. The third thing to notice is the little mozzarella pearls and meaty Fordhook Lima beans. They have a similar texture! Will scatter the basil before serving and drizzle with good balsamic vinegar. So it’s kind of a caprese succotash mash up. Now’s the time for this baby. #saladsofinstagram #salad #saladbrain #platteralthinking #plattersalad #tomatoes #corn #capresesalad #succotash

Fancy doesn’t mean better. Remember your occasion parameters. Serve that skillet #cornbread crust side up!
Two things to notice here. 1. Color theory lesson Two things to notice here. 1. Color theory lesson. You can clearly see that the Cherokee tomato in the lower right of the platter is a red that goes toward blue and the others are more yellow and orange red. So great to have a red blue platter to point this out. 2. That creamy dressing is pesto labneh. Whiz up basil leaves garlic clove Parmesan a dollop of mayo. People go crazy for this. Let the tomato colors and shapes shine and serve the thick cheesy dressing on the side. #platteralthinking #saladsofinstagram #salad #saladbrain #plattersalad. 💪🏻🥗🤸🏼

Here are similar blue reds with completely different tastes in one salad beets cherries and radicchio. Add complementary color 🥑 and pepper rings. There’s a lot going on here all anchored by the strong color. It was just lucky that I had this old yellow green platter.
