Shrimp & Avocado Vegetable Shred Tower
The 'visual highlight' of your Thanksgiving feast! This vegetable shred tower is refreshing, appetizing, and stunning to look at. When prepping veggies with the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, this slap food chopper is incredibly easy to use — cut cucumbers and carrots into appropriate sizes, give 4 cranks for fine shreds; cut avocados into chunks, 3 cranks for silky shreds. After spin-drying, stack the shreds in layers, pair with bouncy shrimp, and drizzle with lemon dressing. Every bite is crisp, fresh, and palate-awakening.
Ingredients (Serves 6)
- 300g shrimp (peeled, deveined, blanched, and cut into small pieces)
- 1 avocado (peeled, pitted)
- 1 cucumber (peeled)
- 1 carrot (peeled)
- 100g lettuce (torn into small pieces)
- 6 cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
1.Shred the Vegetables
Place cucumber and carrot into the Geedel Vegetable Chopper separately, crank 4 times each to get fine, even shreds. Cut avocado into chunks, add to the chopper, and crank 3 times for smooth shreds — soak avocado shreds in lemon juice immediately to prevent oxidation. Use the salad spinner to dry cucumber and carrot shreds thoroughly, avoiding excess moisture that could ruin the tower structure.
2.Prep the Lettuce Base
Tear lettuce into small pieces and spin-dry completely with the salad spinner. The crisp, dry lettuce acts as a stable base for the layers above, while absorbing the flavor of the dressing beautifully.
3.Layer & Assemble
Use a ring mold for neat layers. Start with the dried lettuce as the bottom layer, then stack cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, avocado shreds, and shrimp pieces in order. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and honey — use the food chopper's blending attachment to mix the dressing until smooth. Remove the mold, drizzle the dressing over the tower, and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes. Each layer is crisp, fresh, and vibrantly colored — perfect for sharing on social media!
Conclusion
The key to this appetizer is the Geedel Vegetable Chopper. It creates evenly cut, crisp vegetable and avocado shreds that look beautiful and hold their shape. The spin-dry function prevents sogginess, keeping the tower stable and intact — solving the common problems of 'uneven shreds' and 'excess moisture'. Refreshing and appetizing, it's the perfect start to your Thanksgiving feast.
