Fried green tomatoes, pickled onion and roasted pepper salsa, chipotle ranch

Everything made from scratch! The peppers and tomatoes came from a family garden.

I imagine it tastes good but that sauce smear looks so unappetising
- Unappetizing because it's a smear or due to the texture? Maybe something else? I'm interested in constructive feedback on plating if you have some to share.
  
  I'd say the smear doesnt look like it was intentional as a presentation choice. It looks like you diped something in the sauce rather than smear it for the purpose of appearance.
  
  Of course I'm no food critic and I certainly dont have an eye for presentation as a home cook. Everything on the left looks great. I think if there was more sauce in the smear it would look more intentional. Then again, sometimes less is more. Maybe leaving the smear out would've been better all together.
  
  Overall tho, this looks great.
Those look amazing! I'm a sucker for fried green tomatoes.
- They were really tasty, and very little like regular tomatoes. The cornmeal breading really worked out well with a shallow fry, though it didn't really stick to the skin/edges as uniformly as I had hoped for.
  
  What oil did you use?
That looks great. I've been making fried green tomatoes from our garden this summer. For the breading I just do breadcrumbs with random spices or dried herbs mixed in.
Wow, I'll need to try this sometime!
Those look fucking amazing, though I do think you need way more ranch. I don't super mind the smear though. Could look a little tidier, but mostly if I ate those I'd just be sad I didn't have more ranch
- Thanks for the compliments and feedback! I will definitely be making more of that ranch again. First time making it and I didn't want to waste all my sour cream on an experiment but now that I know it's good we'll be keeping a bottle pre made.
  
  I'm glad it was delicious! Hope you have a good one ☺️
