Salad Tower

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing:
    • Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Layer the Salad:
    • On a serving plate or in a ring mold, start with a base of mixed greens.
    • Add a layer of cherry tomatoes, then cucumbers, avocado slices, quinoa/couscous (if using), shredded carrots, corn/peas, and red onion.
    • Sprinkle with cheese and nuts or seeds between layers for flavor and texture.
  3. Top & Serve:
    • Drizzle the dressing over the top of the tower.
    • Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or chives.
    • Serve immediately and let guests dismantle or enjoy as-is!

💡 Tips:

  • For a fun twist, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu between layers for a protein boost.
  • Use a clear ring mold to make perfectly stacked layers that hold their shape.
  • You can prep the ingredients in advance, but assemble right before serving for maximum freshness.

If you want, I can create a more decadent version with bacon, croutons, and creamy dressing that turns it into a real showstopper.

Do you want me to do that?
