I always begin lunch and dinner with a large salad. So I decided to see how many colors of the rainbow I could get in the bowl. I came pretty close...I fell short for blue and indigo. In the future if I were doing a salad with dried fruits and nuts, I could cover blue with dried blueberries. Again I threw this together with what I had in the fridge as well as a couple of new things to try that I picked up at the farmer's market. Of course there are many variations on this as well.
Red= Tomatoes, Radish (I guess this is red & white)
Orange= Carrots
Yellow = Peppers, tomatoes
Green = Tomato, Zucchini (I think this counts as green & white), Spinach (base of my salad)
Blue =
Indigo=
Violet = Cabbage, peppers (how amazing is the deep purple pepper! - yeah farmer's market)
