I almost didn't post this, but it was so pretty next to my 175g griddles steak that I decided to photograph it.
And when I tasted it, I confirmed to myself that it was worth photographing, because the flavor party in that salad almost surpassed the nobility of a griddled 1" thick steak of "basse cote".
Serves 1 as a side
Ingredients
1/3 cucumber, spirelli'd into spaghetti
1 mini beet (from a jar) sliced
2 kumquats, julienned
1 tsp chili oil
juice from 1/2 lime
freshly cracked pepper
pinch of fleur de sel
pinch of chopped parsley
I hadn't used my spirelli in a while.. I don't know what made me think of it all of a sudden.. hmm interesting.
This salad was as tasty as it was beautiful.. and it's all in my tummy now.
I found these beets jarred by a Polish company. I suppose julienned raw beet would be delicious as well, but I just love the way they are so small and earthy although they are cooked. I usually prefer raw vs cooked beets, but these are really marvelous. Think of it as roma tomato vs cherry tomato. You see it now?
Yesssss perfection!
