Food Plating: Salad


When plating this beet salad I was careful to acknowledge the elements of design which is essential to good food plating. The first element I followed was the use of lines, where I created a curved line through the cheese at the top of the plate along with the oranges to direct the eye. The line also helps create the shape of the salad, where both the avocado and beet are contained within it the curved line. The shape was specifically made to not look fully organic or natural, instead it looks like almost a combination of the two. The color of the salad makes the beet stand out when contrasted with all of the lighter colors on the plate. Overall, I utilized many elements but could have expanded my focus on the various principles of food plating. A better sense of harmony and contrast would have been very helpful in making my salad look more appealing.
