Colorful spring vegetable bowl served

I saw similar bowls on Instagram, but they used tone-on-tone compositions, which made me doubt if they were AI-generated. Still, such a healthy and colorful dish is actually quite easy to prepare.

The plating itself is pure zen—I could have played with many more plates.

I used: white and green asparagus, small white icicle radish and round radish, carrots, edamame beans and green peas.

Lemon appears in three forms: juice in the hummus, salted fermented lemon peel, and lemon-scented thyme for garnish.

I enhanced the effect with pea microgreens, so peas appear twice in the dish.

I think it is quite an extravagant dish, and I would love to see similar vegetable plates in restaurants.
