03 - Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and radishes in expanding arcs, each section increasing in size along the spiral ratio.
04 - Lay the finely sliced red onion as a thin accent ring near the outer edge of the spiral.
05 - Position avocado slices and blueberries within the spiral, spacing evenly for visual balance.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns salad into edible art, so beautiful that guests ask to photograph it before the first bite.
  • Everything is raw and fresh, meaning zero cooking stress and maximum nutrition in every forkful.
  • The arrangement method actually helps you eat balanced—you get a little of everything with every plate.
02 -
  • Arrange everything before you dress it, because wet leaves won't hold their position and the spiral will collapse into a sad pile—the visual presentation is the whole point.
  • Slice your vegetables as thin as you can manage without turning them into mush, because thinner slices make the spiral feel more intricate and delicate than chunky pieces ever could.
03 -
  • Chill your platter in the freezer for fifteen minutes before you start arranging—cold china keeps vegetables fresher and makes the whole thing feel more special when you bring it out.
  • If you're worried the spiral won't look right, practice once on a scrap of paper first—drawing the Fibonacci spiral makes the actual arrangement click into place instantly.
