If my Salad was going to an Oscar Party (or any other red-carpet event), this is what she would wear. Slimming, sophisticated, beautiful lines, not-too-much-cleavage, subtle yet elegant.
Right by my house is an organic produce stand called Jessica’s Organic Farm. They are only open Fridays and Saturdays, but they grow and sell some of the freshest organic produce I have ever tasted. Last week, I came home with a head of lettuce 12″ wide, sweet & silky mangos, zucchini , sugar snap peas and bright red cherry tomatoes. I cut the zucchini into spaghetti-like strands…isn’t it beautiful?

Your salad is definitely dressed for success! And she is lucky to be dressed up by you.
Where are the accessories such as handbags and shoes ? *lol*
Jennifer-thank you so much! I so so so love the front door and bathroom of the home you are selling!! (sigh) if I only had an extra million dollars I could buy your home….
Tiger- you’re right! I need to go SHOPPING tomorrow!!!
What a stunning salad! The delicate strands of zucchini are great, but I’m eyeing those slices of radish, they look perfect! Ahh, so hard to find quality little red radishes here
I do agree it’s a beautiful salad. Love the idea of cutting the zucchini in strands!
Ellie & Kalyn, salad tastes SO much better when the textures are interesting and the colors vivid. The radishes that I got were 1 1/2 inches big! Used Saladacco shredder thingy to get the zucchini strands.
Dear Steamy Kitchen,
I read your articles as though I am reading a novel. Each sentence or photo entice me to read on. I will definitely come back for me. It is hard for me to put down a good novel, but my children has to eat dinner.
p/s I love the dress that your salad wore and congrats on your awards. I don’t think is luck. I think you won because you are really good.
