A salad shaped like a front door: crisp exterior, a sharp bite inside.
A fresh salad built like a new front door: two avocado halves as doors, feta as handles, on a neat rectangle of cucumber and tomato. Looks tidy, but the sharp vinaigrette reveals the scandal within. Perfect for those who like to kick down a door.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 1 cucumber
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 100 g feta cheese
- 1 red onion
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- salt and pepper
Method
- Slice the cucumber into long, thin strips. Arrange them tightly on a platter as a rectangular door frame.
- Halve the avocados, remove pit and skin. Place the halves as two doors in the center of the cucumber, cut side down.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes and arrange them around the cucumber as 'brickwork'.
- Cut the feta into small cubes. Place one cube on each avocado half as a door handle.
- Thinly slice the red onion into rings and scatter over the salad.
- Whisk olive oil, white wine vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper into a vinaigrette. Drizzle generously over the salad for a sharp bite.
- Serve immediately so the avocado stays fresh.
Serving notes
- Serve on a rectangular platter for the best door effect.
- Offer the vinaigrette on the side for extra sharpness.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for color.
