Credit card on your plate: neat on the outside, sharp inside—just like the news.
A salad shaped like a credit card: beet slices as the card, feta cubes as the chip, cucumber strips as the magnetic stripe. Outwardly neat, but a sharp mustard dressing cuts through. A nod to the diplomatic scandal and the debts at its core.
Ingredients
- 2 large cooked beets, peeled
- 150 g feta cheese
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
- 100 g lamb's lettuce
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- salt and pepper
Method
- Slice the beets into thin, rectangular slices about 1 cm thick, arranging them on a large plate to form a credit card shape.
- Cut the feta into small 1x1 cm cubes (for the chip) and place them in the corner of the beet slices.
- Slice the cucumber into long, thin strips and lay them as a magnetic stripe along the top edge of the 'card'.
- Slice the red onion into very thin rings and mix with the lamb's lettuce.
- Make a dressing from olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the lamb's lettuce and onion rings with the dressing and arrange as a 'background' under and around the credit card.
- Drizzle extra dressing over the credit card for a sharp touch.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large white plate to keep the credit card shape visible.
- Let everyone slice their own 'card' for the ultimate scandal feeling.
