Greenland as a salad: crisp, cool, and bordered with feta and beetroot as symbols of influence.
A composed salad shaped like Greenland: iceberg lettuce as the island, feta blocks as US 'bases', and a border of Danish beetroot. Presented formally, like a map on a white plate, referencing the preservation of sovereignty.
Ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 200 g feta cheese, cubed
- 2 large cooked beets
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Wash the iceberg lettuce and separate large leaves. Arrange them in the shape of Greenland on a large white plate.
- Cut the feta into 2 cm cubes. Place these along the 'coastline' as symbolic US bases.
- Slice the beets thinly. Make a narrow border along one side of the island as the Danish edge.
- Slice the cucumber into half-moons and place a few along the coast as 'icebergs'.
- Slice the red onion into thin rings and scatter loosely over the salad.
- Mix olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper for a dressing. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
Serving notes
- Serve on a large white plate for a map effect.
- Stand the feta cubes upright for extra relief.
- Give the composition space: do not overcrowd the plate.
