Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens or arugula
  • 1 cup quinoa or 3/4 cup farro
  • 4 oz soft goat cheese or mozzarella balls or aged cheddar
  • 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto or smoked turkey breast
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries or raspberries
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 cup grapes
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 5 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted almonds or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup cornichons or pickled red onions
  • 1/4 cup olives
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh herbs like mint or basil

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup quinoa or 3/4 cup farro under cold water. Cook quinoa for about 15 minutes or farro for about 25 minutes according to package instructions. Drain and fluff with a fork. Let cool to room temperature (about 10 minutes).
  2. Wash and dry 4 cups mixed baby greens or arugula thoroughly using a salad spinner or paper towels.
  3. Hull and thinly slice 1 cup strawberries. Thinly slice 1 small cucumber and 5 radishes. Remove seeds from 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds if using whole.
  4. Crumble 4 oz goat cheese into small dollops or scatter mozzarella balls. Fold and layer about 4 oz prosciutto slices artfully around the bowl.
  5. Toast 1/4 cup almonds or walnuts lightly in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Arrange with 1/4 cup cornichons or pickled onions and 1/4 cup olives.
  6. Start with the greens as the base, then spoon the cooled grains over one side. Artistically place cheeses, meats, fruits, nuts, and pickles in sections around the bowl to create a colorful mosaic effect.
  7. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup over cheese for a sweet contrast. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle torn fresh mint or basil leaves across the top.
  8. Give everything a gentle toss if you want a mixed bowl, or leave it artfully arranged for a composed look. Serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

Dry greens thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Toast nuts just before serving for best flavor. Prep ingredients separately if making ahead and assemble just before serving. Customize ingredients seasonally or for dietary needs. Use avocado or roasted chickpeas for dairy-free creaminess. Keep dressings separate until serving to maintain freshness.
