ingredients

The Vinaigrette
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
-
The Avocado
- 2 firm ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- toasted bread, buttered and cut into triangles, to serve
directions
- 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?

Just so delicious, I had never thought of this combination although I have had avocado in a crisp salad with a vinaigrette dressing. This completely brings out the taste of the avocado and it really shines through like a ray of sunshine. I added a bit of larger sea salt granules to taste and the whole taste sensation when preparing and devouring this was extraordinary. Thank you bluemoon!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
