Ingredients for Salad Towers
I like to cook with vegetables and then give it my own twist. This one is also very fun to do, because I could let my creativity run wild. For this summer salad I wanted something different than a regular bowl of salad. I used my cooking rings to make nice shapes. I also used cans of quinoa, which is very easy. You don't have to cook or soak it yourself. It is delicious with fresh fruit and vegetables. Corn salad with avocado cucumber tomato

And this is how you make it:
- Take your kitchen grater or a very sharp knife and cut or grate half a cucumber into very thin wedges.
- Grab your plate and put the two cooking rings on it. Fill the bottom by placing a layer of cucumber slices in it. So we build the salad in the ring.
- Take a bowl and cut the avocado in half. Place the pulp in the bowl and sprinkle over some lemon juice. That way it won't brown as quickly. Mash it into a soft puree and spoon it into the other cooking ring and press it down gently with the back of a spoon.
- Now you will fill the rings with the different vegetables, fresh and from the cans.
- Finally, we are going to put the cucumber blades against the salad. Cut thin blades from the other half of the cucumber. You then put this against the turret. Be careful not to press too hard and break the turret. The bottom part will stick to the avocado puree.
- And that's how you built up your turrets nicely. Because we don't work with many items that "stick", you have to make sure that it presses the whole thing well while the ring is still around it. Finally, you remove this very carefully by letting it slide up.
