directions
- *Note: see my posted photo above for a guideline on how to arrange the vegetables, fruit and herbs on the platter. Of course, how you arrange the produce and what produce you choose, is left to creative license.
- Place the baby spinach or mixed greens towards the bottom of a platter.
- Set the green onions on the platter-these are your "flower stalks".
- Place the slices of bell pepper in a "flower" pattern on the green onion stems.
- Place the strawberry slices (the "petals") between slices of bell pepper "petals". (I would have added more strawberries but I ran out.).
- Arrange each black olive half in the middle of the flower and garnish each olive with a chive blossom.
- Put the green peas on top of the spinach or mixed greens.
- Place mint leaves around the edges of the platter.
- Serve salad with the vinaigrette.
