Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Cassava (in the method): Forms the bulk of the filling, giving a smooth, starchy body once mashed.
Endive: Serves as the edible cup that holds the cassava filling.
Olive oil: Adds richness and moisture to the cassava filling and the dressing.
Avocado: Adds creamy fat and body to the salad.

The step that matters

Mashing the boiled cassava into a smooth paste. Cassava must be cooked until fully tender before mashing; undercooked pieces stay fibrous and grainy, and the filling will not spread or hold together smoothly.
