Steemit Iron Chef 2018 - Act 1 Round 4 - Lettuce Salad Boat

salad with lettuce, tomato, parsley, avocado and olives

Today I had so much inspiration from other Steemians

Everyone who would like to join should read @progressiveschef original set of rules

This week's theme is lettuce

and I opened one of the most perfect avocado's that I have ever seen

Sprinkled with crushed pink himalayan salt and some black ground pepper with some lemon juice

That was an irresistible start to my salad and half of it was eaten by me before using the other half in my lettuce boat.

@offoodandart and @chefsteve have been talking about how often we see someone else's recipe and think that we'd like to try it out and sometimes we in fact do. So anyone else wants to adapt someone else's recipe just use the myturn tag - will be a lot of fun if your recipe has inspired someone else.

Tonight I was inspired by a beautiful post by @pusteblume where she served a salad in a lettuce bowl. I had a different type of lettuce but decided that I would make my salad in the lettuce leaf boat - and again I was inspired by @leelektrik when he made his cucumber boats last week.

My salad was with my typical greek salad ingredient minus the feta cheese - instead I used tzadziki - which is cucumber grated and drained and then add yogurt and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Makes a wonderful dip, side dish or blends well with a burger or wrap. Tzadziki served on the side and rice cooked with tomatoes.

Here's hoping you feel inspired
