Tools:
– Passing cloth
- Blender
– Squeeze bottle
– Parisienne drill, the smallest you can find
– Cooking ring with a diameter of 6cm

Ingredients

tarragon oil
1 avocado
0,5 lime, the juice
1 el creme fraiche
1 tsp smooth mustard (Dijon)
1 lump butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
40 gr arugula
1 smoked chicken breast
0,5 cucumber
6 el Greek yoghurt
Doritos, in your favorite flavor
If you can get it here: Borage Cress, edible marigold and smoked olive oil

Preparation

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Place the pulp in a (narrow) measuring cup and add the crème frache, mustard and lime juice.
Put the immersion blender in it and mix until your cream is completely smooth; then push through a sieve so that no pieces remain.
Transfer to the spray bottle and set aside.
Cut nice rounds out of the cucumber with the Parisienne burr (or cut into cubes if you don't have a Parisienne bur).
Crumble some tortilla chips in a paper towel.
Very carefully mix the yogurt with 2 tablespoons of tarragon oil. You want it to stay a little bit separated from each other.
Remove the tough stems from the arugula leaves.
Cut the chicken breast into thin slices and pull apart with two forks to get 'pulled chicken'.
Melt a knob of butter in a pan and sauté the shallot. Add the arugula, let it simmer for a while and remove from the heat when the arugula has wilted. Before you prepare the plates, scoop on a paper towel to remove the excess moisture.
Heat some olive oil (medium) and add the smoked chicken breast to bring it up to temperature a little bit. Lukewarm is perfect!
layout
Place the cooking ring in the center of the plate. Build the salad around this, I used this order:
– Arugula with shallot
- Smoked chicken
– A few drops of smoked olive oil
– Dorito crumble
– Avocado cream
– Cucumber balls
– Petals and cress
Then scoop the yogurt with tarragon oil in the middle and it's time to enjoy!
