Bountiful Garden Salad Bowl

Fun Fact

Did you know that many of the vegetables we commonly eat in salads, like tomatoes and cucumbers, are botanically considered fruits? That's because they contain seeds and develop from the flower's ovary, while true vegetables are other plant parts like roots, stems, or leaves!

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Layered Greens - Use a variety of green shades for the lettuce, basil, and parsley to create depth and make them look fresh and leafy.
2. 2🖍️ Textural Treats - Pay attention to the different textures! Use short, varied strokes for the rougher skin of tomatoes and smoother, longer strokes for cucumbers.
3. 3✨ Highlight & Shadow - Add subtle highlights with lighter colors or even white in areas where light would hit, and use darker shades for shadows to give your vegetables a three-dimensional look.
4. 4🌈 Vibrant Variety - Explore a wide palette! Bell peppers come in red, yellow, orange, and green, and heirloom tomatoes can be many colors. Don't be afraid to mix and match for a truly bountiful bowl.
