Salad day redux

So, I first attempted this salad a few days ago, it was fantastic. My 7 year old suggested adding strawberries and avocado. I finished the mixture by throwing in orange and yellow peppers. Wallah! Gorgeous, delicious, nutritious and fantastic! Gluten free and delish!!!

I think the theme here is cook with color. The brain is wired to get pleasure from color. Dopamine fix and such. Just think of all the beautiful colors in nature. You know the ones. Humans try so hard to immulate them on paintings and on every high definition TV. We like the beautiful contrast of nature.

Food is the edible art created by the contrasting way we put it together.

Eat beauty.
