Steps:
- Spray 3 (1 cup) or 6 (1/2 cup) ramekins with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Place the cilantro, green onions, cream cheese, salt, lime juice, and chile in a food processor and puree until smooth.
- Pour 1/4 cup water in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for a few minutes. Place the remaining 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the softened gelatin and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
- Add the gelatin to the mixture in the food processor, pulsing until pureed and thoroughly blended. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. To unmold, fill a large container with very hot water. Dip the ramekins in the water for 1 minute. Run a small, sharp knife tip around the edge of each mousse. Unmold onto a platter. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Serve with Crostini.
- Preheat a grill pan or charcoal grill. Using a pastry brush, brush the baguette slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
WHITE BEAN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH GARLIC OIL
Buttery avocado and creamy cannellini beans are a natural combination in this easy salad, and a quick garlic oil provides punch. The ingredient list is fairly simple, but here are a couple of tips that take it from good to great: First, make sure to remove the sliced garlic from the oil just as it starts to turn golden, so it doesn't burn. Second, when working with ripe avocados, bypass the standard way of scooping the flesh out of the skin. Instead, achieve immaculate edges by quartering the avocado lengthwise, then gently peeling back the skin to remove the flesh.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Add the garlic and cook, stirring carefully, until it just starts to crisp and turn slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the garlic to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside the garlic oil.
- Halve the avocados lengthwise, pit them, then slice each half lengthwise into two pieces. Peel the avocados, then cut into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the beans, cilantro, lemon juice and reserved garlic oil. Gently toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide among 4 shallow bowls or plates. Garnish with lemon zest, fried garlic and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

AVOCADO AND ONION SALAD
Lovely, simple recipe from www.avocadosalad.com; I haven't tried it yet, but I can just imagine how wonderful it will be next summer with homegrown tomatoes! Mmmmmm.... Also, while the salad says to toss the salad components and dressing, the picture shown was of a beautiful salad constructed of layers. So I'm modifying the instructions to make it as shown. If you're short on time or patience, just gently toss it all together, season with salt & pepper, and dish up. Times are estimates.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or almost black, with a slightly soft feel when you gently squeeze them.
- Cut the avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and then score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern to make it easier to scoop out.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute parsley or mint.
- Chop the onions finely: Finely chopped onions will help to distribute their flavor throughout the salad. If you don't like the strong flavor of onions, you can use a milder variety, such as sweet onions or red onions.
- Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the avocado, cilantro, and onions. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
