Festive smoked sockeye salmon wreath with avocado lemon cream, winter leaves & red grapes

  1. To make the avocado lemon cream, blend or mash avocado with crème fraîche, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil until smooth and pale green. Season to taste.
  2. On a large round platter, spread the avocado cream in a thick, textured circular ring, leaving the centre of the platter clean.
  3. Scatter chicory and radicchio leaves gently over the avocado ring.
  4. Fold smoked salmon slices into soft ribbons and place them on top of the leaves, following the circular shape.
  5. Tuck in red grape halves. Add carrot ribbons for height and movement.
  6. Adjust spacing to keep the wreath organic, not too tightly packed.
  7. Finish with herbs and seasoning .Scatter micro herbs or small rosemary sprigs sparingly for a festive but refined look.
  8. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and add cracked black pepper.
  9. Chill briefly or serve immediately.
