Salad Styling

My first food styling assignment was to style a salad.  Hmmm.. I didn’t want to do a plain old salad and wanted to do something I was really craving so I looked through my Clean Eating Recipe book to see what they had in store.

There was a nice Greek salad with a photo of course so I thought I would try and make and style one of those.  I mean how hard could it be?  Well it proved to be a challenge.  Why you say?  Because of how messy the salad actually looks when you make it.

I had to turn this into something that looks good enough to eat.

After poking, proding, moving around the olives, wiping off the tomatoes and moving around little pieces of cheese so it looks natural and not placed I ended up with this.

Not sure if it’s the best out there but for my first shot at it I don’t think it’s really half bad.
