It's not ALL pretty

[sarahfae]

A Salad (of sorts) that I had for dinner the other day...
I was in a hurry to eat, but right before I gobbled it up I realized how unattractive it looked on the plate. Oh well, it's just proof that not everything I eat looks "pretty"

 

Now tell me that this doesn't look weird, and kind of gross. At least it tasted much better then it's appearance.

In Layers:
*Sprouts
*Sunflower Parm
*Spiral-cut Carrot
*A few dashes of Vinaigrette
*Minced Sundried Tomatoes
*Julienned Cucumber
*Julienned Mango
*Topped with Agave-Mustard-Avocado dip (sounds weird, but it's SOO good!)

You're nuts. (Though you may already have suspected this.) That looks awesome.

Yes - I am nuts!
But Thank you :)
I think what throws it off for me is the slimey looking Mango right underneath the Avocado. It looks like some sort of creepy sea creature! Have I ruined it for you yet?

The mango was the only thing that didn't obviously "fit," but it probably tastes great in that combination.

Me too. I really seem to be eating a lot of green and orange food lately.

That doesn't look gross at all!

aww. you're sweet! i've decided that the mango makes it look a little weird - at least to me it does :)

i'm glad to see that it's not as weird looking to others.

The mango looks tasty. I might be a little biased though, since if mango could talk and it proposed to me, I would marry it without a thought.

Are you kidding me?! That looks DELICIOUS.

The mango does look a little weird but I would so eat it all up. I've been looking for some interesting dish that mixes sweet and savory.

Actually, it doesn't look ugly at all! The colors are beautiful.

thanks! and have i told you how much i love spaghetti cat?!

So I might have thought it was some mustard at first glance, but after reading that the beautiful color is actually mango now it looks even more appetizing!
I hope you don't mind that I added you as a friend, your recipes are always looking delicious and are helping me with the transition into the raw lifestyle.
