Deconstructed Salads: An Artful Food Experience

Trends are emerging among fine dining restaurants around the country to serve deconstructed salads (also referred to as decomposed salads). A deconstructed salad is like any other deconstructed dish; one that takes food and flavors that are normally served and eaten together, rearranges them, and serves them in a different manner. Deconstructed salads offer a fresh way to think of that sometimes overly typical array of lettuce, veggies and dressing. A deconstructed salad will oftentimes have different proportions of tastes (less lettuce, for example) and drastically changed appearance. The salad pictured below is a deconstruction of a typical summer salad, yet, it’s far from typical. Indeed, it is a work of art.
