Avocado Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mustard and vinegar. Pouring slowly, add a thin stream of avocado oil to the bowl, whisking with the other hand. Continue to whisk until all of the oil has been poured into the bowl and the ingredients have come together homogeneously. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve over your favorite green salad.

Steps:

• The Vinaigrette: To make the vinaigrette, combine the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and salt and pepper to taste in a screw top jar, and shake well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• The Avocado: Cut the avocados in half lengthways and gently twist the halves to separate. To remove the seed, insert a sharp knife into it, then twist and lift out.
• Brush the surfaces with lemon juice and place the avocado halves on 4 serving plates, shake the dressing again and drizzle it evenly over the avocado halves.
• Serve with buttered toast triangles (more traditional) or warm crusty rolls.
• Notes: An avocado is ripe if it feels a little soft when held in your hand. To help ripen an avocado, put it in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple and store in an airy spot. You can now buy avocados that don't discolour when cut, but are they, I wonder, genetically modified?

Steps:

• Pour avocado oil, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame oil into a blender. Cover and blend until smooth and emulsified, about 2 minutes. Add avocado; blend well to combine, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cumin; blend until vinaigrette flavors are combined, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer vinaigrette to a container; chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Shake well before using.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in non-reactive bowl and toss gently to mix. Adjust seasonings and chill. Vinegar will slightly melt the ripe avocado to a nice consistency.
• Toast pine nuts in a dry saute pan or in a 350 degree oven on a sheet pan. Pick sage leaves and parsley so as to lease little or no stem. Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender and process until a pesto consistency.

Steps:

• Cover a platter with watercress and arugula. Place the avocado face down on the greens. Slice the avocado crosswise and fan it out across the greens. Thoroughly mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the avocado and greens. Add sprouts before serving.

Steps:

• Arrange avocados and fruit on a serving plate; sprinkle with mint and almonds. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients until blended; drizzle over salad.
