Rainbow Salad
August 08, 2024
Most kitchen pros say that you “eat with your eyes” before you even take a bite of food. That’s why everyone from food bloggers to Michelin-starred chefs spend so much time artfully arranging plates of food. A swirl of red sauce, a dash of yellow onion… one scroll past a Pinterest-worthy entree and you feel like you’re primed to be the Picasso of plating.
When it comes to looks, this rainbow salad recipe is a stunner. It's piled with a literal color wheel of delicious fruits and veggies plated in classic ROY G. BIV style—that’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet if you need a science class brush-up. It will make you happy just looking at it! Dig in and you’re rewarded with a mashup of sweet, tart, tangy, and savory flavors under a blanket of classic Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing that’s free from seed oils, cane sugar, and artificial sweeteners.
