Sweet version or salty version, the rainbow pie is a new fun way to eat vegetables (and not that!) Without having the impression to make the slightest effort. We tell you more about this trend that makes us salivate but never feel guilty.

What is a rainbow pie?

In the unicorn movement, the rainbow pie rides on the multicolored trend, very popular for several seasons. But this is the only common point between this healthy trend and the sweet / colorful overdose of unicorn fashion in the kitchen! The concept: make a pie "work of art" as impressive visually as healthy and greedy! Not easy ? To achieve 2 techniques:

• The colorful declination exploits the aesthetic qualities of food. From one side to the other of the pie or from the center to the outside, the idea is to create a colorful variation by placing the food on the dough according to their color.
• The giant spiral is based on a handy tool: the mandolin. The goal is to make thin strips and drop them to create a colorful spiral. Effect "wow" guaranteed!

Which ingredients to use?

In fact, the success of a rainbow pie is first and foremost the choice of foods that will compose it. We can first select them according to their colors: broccoli, zucchini, peas if we want green, tomatoes and peppers for red, carrot for orange, corn or pineapple for yellow ... This technique ensures a bluffing visual! If we choose the spiral option, we opt for vegetables that are easy to work with mandolin: carrots, zucchini, eggplant but also thin slices of dry hams are preferred. Another alternative for a great result, rely on the ingredients that come in several varieties: carrots, turnips, beets and tomatoes, which grow in many colors can achieve pretty variations and shades of subtle tastes! And nothing obliges you to restrict yourself to vegetable pies. Sweet version the rainbow pie is also small effect!
