- Serves:

6-8
ingredients
- 1 large Hass avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced 1/8 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 large slicing tomatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick
- 1⁄2 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/8 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, minced
- 1⁄2 cup plain yogurt (I prefer Greek.)
- 1⁄2 - 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, minced, seeds removed
- 1 -2 teaspoon adobo sauce
- salt and pepper
directions
- Dip the avocado slices into the lemon juice and place on a paper towel to drain. This will help to prevent oxidation.
- Chill a large round serving plate. in a circular pattern, leaving the center open for a small ramekin in which to serve the chipotle cream, alternate the slices of tomato, cheese and avocado. Sprinkle the minced tarragon over the arrangements and lightly sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl combine together the yogurt, chipotle and adobo sauce and if desired additional salt and pepper. Place the prepared yogurt mixture in center of serving dish. Allow each individual guest to spoon the chipotle cream over the tomato and cheese slices when plating.
- Please note: It is important that this salad be served quickly after preparing. If it is allowed to sit to long it will loose its "fresca".

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
