The Olympic
Games in Rio have started and there will be a huge variety of
sports to watch during the coming weeks. The events are well underway
and some countries have already bagged medals. I'm not an overly keen
viewer of summer sports, but I will watch the occasional discipline
and get carried away, if Finland gets any medals. Men's javelin is a
must-see event, as Finns usually are fairly good in it. Regardless of
all the controversy related to the games, I think it's nice to see
nations come together amicably and compete in sports.
I was inspired to
make a salad in the spirit of the Olympics. So here is the unofficial
salad of the Olympic Games in Rio trying the replicate the colours of
the Olympic flag with vegetables.
These are the
veggies representing the different colours:
Blue: rosini
lettuce, purple basil and purple chilli chopped up
Black: black
olives
Red: red bell
pepper
Yellow: roasted
gem squash
Green: fresh peas
Are you watching
the games and what countries are you supporting?
I also want to
share this salad with the No Croutons Required soup and salad
cooking challenge. The challenge is hosted this month by Lisa from
Lisa's Kitchen and co-hosted by Jacqueline from Tinned Tomatoes.
