MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender (I personally use a stand up stick model in a bowl). As you begin to blend, slowly pour in olive oil to desired consistency. If you like it tangy, you may wish to add more vinegar if you like it thinner you may want to use more olive oil. Add salt to taste.
- If you want it spicy, add a serrano or jalapeno pepper(s). Anyone that knows me or my recipes knows that I adore garlic, spice and vinegar so my taste may be stronger than yours for these items, adjust accordingly.
- This is an excellent dressing for any salad but is exceptionally good on a grilled chicken southwestern salad. Also good in place of cocktail sauce for a change to shrimp cocktails.

AVOCADO VINAIGRETTE
Avocado Vinaigrette is a traditional Australian recipe for an entrée, which acknowledges that so scrumptious is the avocado that it is in little need of embellishment. For many Australians, eating this dish may well have been their introduction to avocados. This recipe is from the Australian publication by Reader's Digest of a book jam-packed with traditional Australian recipes: 'Family Recipe Scrapbook: tried and trusted recipes for today's cooks'. I bought the book in preparation for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, so I could track down familiar recipes I've eaten often and others I know by name but have either never eaten or have not eaten not at all recently, as well as others I have never made.

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?
