A salad as digital breach: a vegetable arrow piercing an avocado portal.
A salad with sharp, tangy flavors, built as a digital 'breach': a stacked arrow of cucumber and carrot slices pierces a halved avocado 'portal'. The whole refers to the AI hack on the Australian government site. The breach path is clearly visible and edible.
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers
- 3 large carrots
- 2 avocados
- 150 g feta cheese
- 1 red onion
- 100 g arugula
- 3 tbsp capers
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
- salt to taste
Method
- Wash the cucumbers and carrots. Slice cucumbers diagonally into 1 cm thick pieces. Slice carrots diagonally into 0.5 cm thick pieces.
- Halve the avocados, remove the pit and skin. Place each half, hollow side up, on a large plate as a portal.
- Spread arugula as a base on the plate.
- Create a diagonal arrow by alternating cucumber and carrot slices, from the edge of the plate straight into the avocado portal. Let the arrow pass through the avocado hole.
- Slice the red onion into thin half rings. Crumble the feta. Scatter both over the salad.
- Mix lemon juice, zest, olive oil, white wine vinegar, pepper, and salt into a dressing. Drizzle over the salad.
- Scatter the capers for extra tang.
Serving notes
- Serve the salad immediately so the arrow structure stays clear.
- Set the avocado portals firmly so the arrow really 'breaches' them.
- Give everyone a portion with a piece of the arrow and portal.
