STACKED SALAD 1
Testing continues, this time its the salad round. This is an avocado, mango, cherry tomato, and cilantro salad with a red chili ginger vinaigrette with chip. The flavors worked so well together. Its very refreshing. This was version one without the shrimp. Version two was the same thing, but with a jumbo prawn simply dressed with s&p, red chilies, and paprika. I think this one is a keeper, but I think when next I make it I will mash the mangos and tomato layers. You can use chunky layers with things like meat because they naturally have a sticky quality about their texture that holds together well in a stacked salad, but fruits do not. Unless I add some form of heavy cream based dressing, which I think would ruin the effect, I'm going to need to mash it more like the avocado so it holds. The other option is a BLT and avocado salad which does have a creamy Caesar style dressing but I want to do mini blt's too, so I'll leave this as is but with smoother layers. You can see from the other version with the shrimp that it looks all over the place crazy.
