Cold salad

This plating follows a minimalist and balanced style that focuses on presenting each item clearly while creating visual harmony. Here’s a breakdown of the plating idea and inspiration: 1. Symmetry and Balance • The plate is divided into different sections, each highlighting a different element (cold cuts, cheese, salads). • The circular arrangement around the center helps the eye travel naturally across the plate. 2. Color Contrast • The variety of colors from the fresh vegetables, cheese, and cured meats creates visual interest. • Bright ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, and olives) add pops of color against the neutral tones of meat and cheese. 3. Focal Point • The cheese and skewer in the middle act as a centerpiece, drawing attention to the center of the plate. • The variety in shape (cubes, slices, rolls) adds depth and texture to the dish. 4. Inspiration • This type of plating is inspired by European antipasto or charcuterie board styles, which focus on showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients with minimal embellishment. • The clean, modern arrangement also reflects contemporary fine dining trends.
