SMOKED SALMON & AVOCADO TERRINES
I found this recipe in the Dec issue of BBC Goodfood.An extremely elegant starter that will grace any dinner table. Very simple yet very very tasty. The greatest advantage is that it can be prepared the night before leaving you free to enjoy time with your guests. I replaced the goats cheese which was stated in the original recipe with cream cheese as I am not very partail to goats cheese.

- Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the smoked salmon and avocado, you can add other toppings to your tower, such as capers, red onion, cream cheese, or lemon zest.
- Assemble the tower carefully: Start by placing a layer of smoked salmon on the bottom of the serving dish. Then, add a layer of avocado slices, followed by another layer of smoked salmon. Repeat until you have reached the desired height.
- Chill the tower before serving: This will help to firm up the tower and make it easier to slice.
