  1. I was having a Brazilian themed party and wanted to serve something that would be a good accompaniment to the the rodizio picanha and caipirinha's we were serving. This recipe was fantastic, a big hit, and healthy to boot. I used rice vinegar as the "white vinegar the recipe calls for and also used whole-grain mustard, which gave it a wonderful tangy flavor. I did not have a ring mold, but placed the salad in a bowl then placed a glass in the center, to make a hollow middle circle. Then I placed it on a bed of romaine lettuce and extra slices of avocado, before topping it with the sliced hard-boiled eggs and shrimp.<br/><br/>I really recommend this recipe it's easy and, as I said healthy and a good complement to heavy meat like the pichana (Top Sirloin: A lean, juicy cut of beef).
