A sharp salad with chicken drones in formation and red onion as air raid signals.
A salad featuring spicy marinated chicken strips flying in a diagonal row like drones, with red onion rings as air raid signals. The sharp, sour dressing and contrasting flavors create tension. The silhouette echoes a drone swarm over the Baltics, with the alarm sounding.
Ingredients
- 700 g chicken breast
- 2 red onions
- 1 cucumber
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 100 g feta cheese
- 2 tbsp capers
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 red chili pepper
- salt and pepper
Method
- Cut the chicken breast into long, thin strips. Mix with 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, pressed garlic, chopped chili pepper, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes.
- Fry the chicken strips on high heat until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly.
- Slice the red onions into thin rings. Cut cucumber and bell pepper into angled strips.
- Wash and roughly tear the romaine lettuce. Spread over a large platter.
- Lay the chicken strips diagonally in a row across the lettuce, like a drone swarm. Arrange the cucumber and bell pepper strips around them to suggest airflow.
- Place the onion rings in concentric circles on one side of the plate to resemble alarm signals.
- Sprinkle feta and capers over the salad.
- Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the salad.
Serving notes
- Serve with extra chili pepper for added tension.
- Let guests place onion rings as 'alarms' on their portion.
