Neat salad as the ICC logo, with Japanese and Senegalese accents as edible markers.
A precisely arranged salad in the shape of the International Criminal Court logo: white beans as the court, red pepper as pressure, with two edible markers—a radish slice (Japan) and a mango slice (Senegal)—representing the sanctioned staff. Solemn, simple, with diplomatic colors.
Ingredients
- 200 g mixed lettuce (arugula, lamb's lettuce, little gem)
- 1 can white beans (400 g), rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 cucumber
- 4 radishes
- 1 small mango
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Wash the lettuce and spread evenly on a large, round white plate.
- Rinse the white beans and pat dry. Arrange them in a clear, round circle in the center (the court).
- Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips. Lay them tightly around the bean circle, symbolizing pressure.
- Slice the cucumber thinly and arrange as a second ring outside the pepper.
- Slice two radishes thinly. Place one slice on the left of the bean circle (Japan).
- Slice the mango thinly. Place one slice on the right of the bean circle (Senegal).
- Mix olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper into a dressing. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large, white, round plate for maximum ICC effect.
- Place the salad in the center of the table with a spoon to keep the circles visible.
