A rectangular salad as a server rack: neat on the outside, sharp on the inside.

A neat, rectangular salad mimicking a server rack, layered with cucumber, avocado, and chicken. Clean and organized outside, with a spicy wasabi dressing inside: neat outside, a sting inside. Refers to the Nvidia AI datacenter scandal and secret chip data.

Ingredients

  • 2 cucumbers
  • 2 avocados
  • 400 g smoked chicken breast
  • 100 g lamb's lettuce
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 lime
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp wasabi paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Slice the cucumbers into long thin strips with a cheese slicer.
  2. Slice the avocados thinly.
  3. Slice the chicken breast into thin rectangular pieces.
  4. Mix mayonnaise, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and lime juice for a dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. On a large rectangular platter, lay a base of lamb's lettuce.
  6. Build the server rack: alternate strips of cucumber, avocado, and chicken in neat rows, creating a rectangular, 'technical' pattern.
  7. Drizzle thin lines of wasabi dressing between the layers as internal 'cables'.
  8. Finely slice the spring onions and sprinkle as 'LED lights' on top.
  9. Serve immediately.

Serving notes

  • Serve on a square or rectangular platter for the server rack effect.
  • Let everyone scoop out a 'module'.
