Escalation Track Salad

Ingredients

• 2 zucchinis
• 4 large carrots
• 2 red onions
• 200 g pickled herring fillets (drained)
• 1 lemon
• 4 tbsp capers
• 2 tbsp coarse mustard
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• salt and pepper
• handful of dill
• 100 g lamb's lettuce

Method

1. Heat the grill pan. Slice the zucchinis and carrots lengthwise into thin strips.
2. Grill the strips on both sides until marked and flexible.
3. Slice the red onions into rings.
4. Cut the herring fillets into pieces of about 5 cm (carriages).
5. Mix mustard, olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper into a sharp dressing.
6. Spread the lamb's lettuce as a base on a large platter.
7. Create two parallel rails from the grilled zucchini and carrot strips, diagonally across the platter.
8. Alternately place pieces of herring and onion rings as carriages on the rails.
9. Sprinkle capers as 'bolts' over the rails and carriages.
10. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
11. Garnish with dill.

Serving notes

• Serve the salad in a long line so the train shape is clear.
• Let everyone take their own 'carriage' piece.
