So the weather seems to have changed a little, starting yesterday. It was nice and hot, one of those typical Spring, beach days... Did I say Spring (Wow slow down, its still winter). Anyways, I decided to make myself a Grilled Chicken and Red Pepper Salad for lunch.
Well, actually I had some of my Pink peppercorn and Juniper berry sauce left over and have been trying to get my pictures into one of these 'food porn' sites. So I thought I would drizzle the sauce over 'something' and take photographs. I scrounged around in the fridge for a while, found a red pepper, chicken kebabs, tomato and some salad leaves; so I decided I would make a salad. Grilled the chicken 'cubes' and red pepper slices and voilà! To my utter amazement the salad turned out to be really tasty (just kidding I knew it would be good) and I thought I would share it with all of you.
You may have noticed the Foodista widgets at the bottom of a few of my posts, this is because I have recently joined the Foodista community. These widgets will link you to similar recipes on the Foodista website, it's an awesome website check it out when you get a chance.
By the way if anyone has any photography tips or critique on my photographs they are more than welcome, after all I am here to learn as well! I thought this photograph was pretty good, but it didn't make the cut on two of the sites I submitted it to... any suggestions?
