A salad with a white mozzarella 'flour sack' at the center, strictly framed by red and green vegetables.

A solemn salad featuring a large, round mozzarella ball as the flour sack centerpiece, surrounded by precisely arranged rings of beet, cucumber, and radish. The white center refers to the flour sack incident with Glucksmann, the layout underlines the impact on the political stage.

Ingredients

2 large buffalo mozzarella balls (about 250 g each)
2 medium cooked red beets
1 cucumber
8 radishes
75 g arugula
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

Method

Wash the arugula and divide over four plates as a base.
Cut the red beets into half-moons.
Slice the cucumber into long, diagonal slices.
Slice the radishes thinly.
Place a mozzarella ball in the center of each plate as the 'flour sack'.
Arrange the beet, cucumber, and radish in neat circles or segments around the mozzarella, keeping the ball as the center.
Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper just before serving.

Serving notes

Serve on a white plate for extra contrast.
Ensure the mozzarella stays bright white, pat dry before plating.
Lay out the vegetables in a tidy, symmetrical ring for the most solemn effect.
