One of the most popular dishes in all of Zaofu is their elegant hibiscus root salad. As a non-bender living in the real world, however, finding real hibiscus root is easier said than done. Fortunately for me, the specialty grocery store across the street had a fresh selection of real edible orchids on sale, so I couldn’t resist recreating my own rendition of this fantastical dish. I dressed my salad with bean sprouts, carrots, and a cilantro lime dressing.

I’d like to think that Sue would have been proud of the simplicity of this dish and most certainly would have served it to our favorite Avatar!
