Arizonaavocadosalad Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine avocados, onion, bell pepper, tomato, cilantro and lime juice. Gently toss until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the salad: Peel the avocados, cut into 1-inch chunks and put all but 2 chunks into a large mixing bowl for the salad. Put the remaining 2 chunks into a small mixing bowl and set aside for the dressing.
• Add the parsley, cucumber and onion to the avocado chunks in the large mixing bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• For the dressing: Mash the reserved 2 chunks of avocado with a fork until smooth. Add the oil, honey, cumin and lime juice and whisk until smooth.
• Pour the dressing over the avocado salad and gently toss with your hands to combine. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon each fresh lime juice and orange juice, 1 minced shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add 2 diced avocados, 1 1/2 cups cubed jicama or radishes, 1/2 cup each cubed mango and pineapple and 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro; gently toss. Season with salt.

Steps:

• For the dressing, mix the crushed garlic with a pinch of salt, the lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Combine the salad ingredients in a bowl, season and toss with the dressing just before serving. Serve with Crisp Za'atar bread (see below) and Chermoula-marinated mackerel (see 'Goes well with').

Steps:

• Whisk together the dressing ingredients (from olive oil to mustard) and pour over the salad.
• Toss and sprinkle croutons on top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1 Cut away about 2 inches of the base of each asparagus spear. With a vegetable peeler, shave the entire asparagus from bottom to top, reversing your grip and rotating as necessary to shave as much as possible. Don't rush it; be deliberate for the greatest precision.
• 2 Divide the asparagus strips among 4 salad plates. Cut each avocado half into 4 sections and place 2 wedges on each salad. Sprinkle with the mint leaves. Squeeze lime juice over the salads, drizzle evenly with the oil, and sprinkle with salt.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients; cover and refrigerate 15-20 minutes. Add avocado; toss gently. Sprinkle with feta. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove all of the peel and pith from the citrus fruit. To section each fruit, cut between the membrane and flesh of each fruit and remove the flesh. You should have 2 cups fruit. After sectioning, squeeze the leftover membranes over a bowl to reserve the juice.
• Combine 3 tablespoon of reserved fruit juice, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper in a screw top jar. Close and shake vigorously to combine.
• Arrange mixed greens, Swiss chard, orange, grapefruit, and clementine sections, red onion, avocado, and cashews on a large serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.

• Chop avocados fine and in a bowl stir together with remaining ingredients.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Best served at room temperature.
