THE GROUP FOODIES _ REDOING OLD POSTS 

The Group Foodies_Redoing Old Posts, started by Renu helps the members to make an effort to update old posts. This group has helped me so far to focus on posts that need redoing. Avocado Vinaigrette post required some updating with photos and the write up. Have no idea why it has taken me so long to take new photos. I live in a country where avocados are available in abundance and some can actually be the size of a small papaya!

Ingredients Required For Avocado Vinaigrette

• Avocado – must be firm but ripe and not all mushy. Cut the avocado into half and remove the seed. Immediately rub some lemon juice over it so that it does not turn black. The tip is to cut the avocado just before serving.
• Vinegar – use a good quality vinegar. I like to use wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or even balsamic vinegar. If you don’t have good quality vinegar then use fresh lemon juice.
• Fresh Herb – any of your choice, you need very little. I sometimes add finely chopped coriander, mint or basil.
• Virgin Olive Oil – or any flavored oil of your choice.
• Salt – I’ve used Pink Himalayan Salt, use any of your choice.
• Pepper – freshly ground pepper
• Fresh Tomato, small – finely chopped, will need very little
• Onion, small – peeled and finely chopped. Use red, white or yellow. Can also use spring onions if you want to.

Dietary Tips:

• Gluten free
• Vegan
• To enjoy on a Fasting Day, omit onion and use lemon juice.
• Vegetarian Starter

Notes

• If you need to serve this dish as a starter to guests, you can keep the tomato mixture ready in advance in the fridge but do not add the salt. Add salt just before serving.
• If you are working with more avocados, then brush each half with lemon juice to prevent it from turning black.
• Instead of onion or shallot can use spring onions, chopped finely.
• Can add a tsp of finely chopped walnuts or pine nuts for an extra special treat. Remember to toast them slightly in a pan.
• For chilli lovers, add finely chopped green chillis at your risk.
• As a tummy filler for ekadashi day, omit the onions. Can add chopped olives.
