Shrimp, Avocado + Carrot Salad

2011-06-18 14.21.21

For me, eating is just as much of a visual experience as it is a tasting experience.  There can be the most flavorful, decadent, rich pile of white mush and I won’t enjoy eating it… simply because it isn’t pretty to look at.

All kidding aside, this salad is absolutely beautiful.  I created it based of off a salad that my parents are always eating whenever I visit them around dinner time.  It’s simple, it’s easy to make and looking at it reminds me of a sunny, tropical oasis.

Upscale House Salad

Last night my loves and I went out for a late dinner + drinks at a new restaurant to enjoy each others’ company until the early hours of the morning.  It was 9 pm and I wasn’t too hungry, but wanting to be a good patron, I ordered the House Salad w/ chicken and a Crispin Hard Cider (and another… and then a beer… but we won’t go there for the purposes of this post.)

It was the BEST house salad I’ve ever had because there were minor enhancements that made the salad so much more enjoyable.  Who knew that a traditionally boring house salad could actually be so delicious? It’s amazing how far a little attention to detail can go so I recreated something similar to enjoy again for lunch tomorrow.
