Use garnishes that enhance the flavor of the meal. Think beyond the standard garnishes, like the classic dry, rough parsley bit served next to a dish of scrambled eggs. Maybe it adds a hint of green, but does it really enhance the dish? Instead, make a little chive bouquet or add a sprinkling of fresh dill to the dish. No matter what you're serving, make sure the garnish actually makes the dish better instead of just cluttering up the plate.[5]
