How would you plate it?

Cut it in half diagonally. Put it on a plate of lettuce/1 laying flat and one standing up leaning on that one. Put a little duck sauce in a small clear disposable dipping spoon next to the eggroll.

So this is a separate quandary- I cannot find Terra Stix anywhere these days. I fear they are not being made anymore.[/quote

They stoped making it but I’ve done the terra salad with terra chips, just crushed
It a bit. Actually came out really pretty and crunchy.

😢 I love terra stix. I’ve done the crumbled chips but I like stix so much better.

Hmm hard to say about the hour... I’d prob do it, but I don’t want to guarantee. Maybe put in container in fridge?

I usually just do avocado, lime juice and garlic salt (generous amount of salt is key - taste to get the right amount, of course don’t want too much). When I served it as an appetizer I may have added tomatoes. But that’s the base.

Keep the avocado pit in water & the avocado will not brown even for days. I do it when I have a half avocado in fridge

I’ve tried this and it hasn’t worked. I wonder what I’m doing wrong.

Any kind of salad - served with garlic pita chips (store bought or homemade). If you wanna be fancy, put the salad into a wrap baked in the shape of a bowl.
Mashed lima beans - many garnish options
Blintzes - vegetable, potato, mock liver with a mushroom sauce
Rolls (onion rolls, garlic knots, etc. ) with scoops of egg salad

A baked apple, or apple shaped as rose

Any Salad

Fruit salad

Pastrami orzo over breaded eggplant (best if served warm)

Veggie shish kebab over garlicky angel hairs.

Pulled beef or pastrami tacos served with guacamole and cole slaw

Or maybe a falafel plate. Put the falafel on a skewer. Salad in the side. Techina and chumus in tiny dipping cups.

Onigiri - it's sushi rice in a triangle mold. I put avocado inside. Got the mold on a Amazon.

Sesame noodles topped with grilled chicken
You can make sauces now and keep them in the fridge, or even prepare the chicken in the sauce and freeze and grill when you defrost.

Any hamantash. Dough with any filling like sauteed veggies, sauteed cabbage or meat. Or fill with mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes or like a mashed broccoli filling ( like from a broccoli kugel recipe
