Strategic Plate Composition
Start by selecting a variety of salads with different textures and flavors, such as a crisp lettuce salad, a sweet fruit salad, and a savory vegetable salad. Then, choose hot dishes that complement your meat selection, considering options like rice and beans, farofa, or a lighter vegetable stew.
Balancing Flavors
Pair rich and fatty meats with lighter, acidic salads to cut through the richness. If you choose spicier meats, consider milder salads and hot dishes to balance the heat.
