Aunt Mabels Molded Avocado Salad With Toasted Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Toss the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and puffed rice with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and kosher salt in a bowl. Add the oil and toss to coat. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Toss with the lime zest and set aside.
• Cut the avocados in half and peel. Place the flat side of each avocado on a cutting board and slice at an angle. Plate half an avocado on each plate and top with some of the Pickled Onions and toasted seed mixture. Finish with a drizzle of good-quality olive oil, a sprinkle of cotija and a pinch of flaky salt. Serve with a lime wedge.
• Combine the apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water in a small pot. Heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour the mixture over the red onions in a medium bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• For the toast: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Put the bread cubes on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, capers and everything bagel seasoning.
• For the salad: Add the tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado and onions to the dressing and toss. Add the bread cubes and basil and toss again. Let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with the feta and halved eggs.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. In another bowl, mix together cream cheese, celery, avocado, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and salt. Mix in onion juice, if using. Gradually stir in the gelatin mixture. Pour into an 11x7 inch glass baking dish, and refrigerate until set.
• Cut the gelatin salad into squares, and serve each square on top of a leaf of butter lettuce. Make the salad dressing by mixing the 1/2 cup mayonnaise with confectioners' sugar and lemon juice to taste. Drizzle dressing over squares, and garnish with toasted pecans.
