A top-down view shows a prepared salad on a round, matte black plate, positioned on a scratched stainless steel counter. The plate, approximately 25-30 cm in diameter, is filled with a mixed green salad, including various types of lettuce such as red leaf, green leaf, and arugula. Components integrated into the salad include thin slices of cured meat, possibly duck breast or prosciutto, and darker, oval-shaped pieces of meat. Slices of red onion and white onion rings are distributed throughout. Scattered golden-brown croutons, some triangular and some rectangular, are visible, as are several pieces of sun-dried tomato and pine nuts. A central feature is a small, sunny-side-up quail egg with a bright yellow yolk, garnished with finely chopped green chives. Sprigs of fresh parsley or chervil are also present. A second identical black plate with a similar salad is partially visible in the upper background. No individuals are present in the image. The scene is located in a kitchen or food preparation area within the city of Schiltigheim, France.
