Viking Salad


Time: 15 minutes
Effort: Easy
Serves: 2


Ingredients
4 Romaine lettuce leaves (two from the heart or center, and two from the outside)
3 Cherry tomatoes
1 English cucumber (seedless)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp coffee cream
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder or freshly grated garlic
Salt & pepper to taste
6 toothpicks (Even nicer with fancy ones)

Slice the cucumber lengthwise using a mandolin - as thin as possible. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Combine the mayonnaise with the cream, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper until creamy. Cut the tomatoes in half, and each leaf of lettuce.
Assembly:
Gather the lettuce into a cone shape using two bottom ends and two top ends, holding it with one hand, wrap two to three cucumber slices around it and secure with three toothpicks set evenly apart. Insert 3 tomato halves around the edges and drizzle the sauce over the top and some on the serving plate.
(For a variation use some avocado strips or baby shrimp, chopped ham or prosciutto. Be creative!)
