Spicy salad shaped like a hurricane swirling along the coast, with sharp and fresh flavors.
A spicy Mexican salad with avocado, red onion, and lime, arranged as a hurricane above a coastline: red pepper spiral as the storm, cucumber as the coast. The sharp and tangy flavors mirror the tension of the threatening hurricane that doesn’t make landfall.
