Could someone tell me what exactly is going on in this pic?

Is that one meal with several courses?
Is it just a bunch of food?
Are the garbanzo beans eaten that way, or for putting on either salad?
And what exactly are those salads? They look delicious. I've never seen nuts in a salad, but that wouldn't be unusual for me not to have seen something... I think I remember sunflower seeds at a salad bar before... And I think I saw that purple-ish/white leaf stuff at the produce the other day, but I couldn't associate a name with it. Is it a lettuce, cabbage, other?

I must be getting hungry
The food looks so good!

To me it looks like either a bunch of food or perhaps 2 separate meals? The salad on the bottom has chicken on it, and that feels to me it could be a meal in itself, whereas the smaller salad of ?spinach?, pecan, and almond, and blueberry is smaller to be paired with the salmon.

Nuts on salad are fairly common. I've seen, eaten, and made them before. Nuts/seeds are a great crunch addition to texture in salads. I also think the bottom chicken salad has quinoa on it as well.

The purple stuff. . . To me it kind of looks like purple/red radiccio. But it could also be lettuce (please correct me DC people!) I doubt it's cabbage as fresh cabbage is generally shredded for salad.

You are obviously not a salad aficionado. Here are some salads with nuts

That purple-ish/white leaf stuff is called radicchio. Here is everything you ever wanted to know about radicchio but didn't know who to ask!

I think the bowl in the smaller walnut salad through me off, too.
Unless that is the current look for small salad bowls.

I'm guessing they don't have names then.

Is the small bowl of what looks like spinach (pecan, almond, blueberry) actually baby bok choy? I thought the stems looked familiar and didn't look like spinach stems at all.

The salads or the bowls?

On the salads, I think they're just generic salad ingredients. I don't know of a specific name for those 2 salads types, unlike Green Goddess which is specific dressing and Caesar which is also a specific dressing (usually also romaine lettuce, croutons, and fresh parmesan). I love Caesar salad.

Or Cobb salad, which is a specific set of ingredients like blue cheese, bacon, egg, and a few others I'm forgetting (lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, avocado, and red wine vinaigrette?)

On the bowls I have no idea they could be diamond for all I know.

Yeah, just done for a visual stimulant I suppose. Different foods, textures, colors.
I was hoping to put a name with the salads, like the ones we've all heard of before and you mentioned.

I guess the 1-1/2 Brussels sprout was a giveaway it was simply staged, lol.

Old school or new school, it's a pretty picture.
