Title: Party Salattorte
Ingredients:
– 3 cups mixed salad greens (such as arugula, baby spinach, and romaine)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– 1/4 cup sliced black olives
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by prepping your salad ingredients. Wash and dry the mixed salad greens thoroughly. Slice the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, and red onion into thin, uniform pieces. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
2. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the Salattorte later.
3. Begin assembling the Salattorte by layering the mixed salad greens in the bottom of the pan. Press them down gently to create a compact base for your torte.
4. Top the greens with a layer of cherry tomatoes, followed by a layer each of red and yellow bell peppers, cucumbers, and red onion. Ensure each layer is evenly distributed and covers the previous layer completely.
5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top layer of vegetables. Add the sliced black olives and chopped parsley on top of the feta cheese.
6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the entire Salattorte, allowing it to seep into the layers and add a burst of tangy sweetness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once all the layers are assembled, gently press down on the Salattorte with the back of a spoon to compress the layers and help them hold together.
8. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Salattorte for at least 2 hours, or overnight if preparing ahead of time. Chilling will help the layers meld together for easier slicing.
9. When ready to serve, carefully release the sides of the springform pan and transfer the Salattorte to a serving platter. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom.
10. Slice the Salattorte into wedges as you would a traditional torte, revealing the beautiful layers of vibrant colors and textures. Serve chilled and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors in each bite.
