This is a fun salad dish for a formal dinner. Don't expect it to be a "huge" salad--this is a different kind of salad--one that has as much eye appeal for plating as anything else. When I have served it, everyone has really felt like they are getting the royal treatment--and it does taste great!
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 avocado
- 1 red pepper, sliced thin
- 1 yellow pepper, sliced thin
- juice of 1 lime
- a few red onion rings
- fresh cilantro
- black pepper
- olive oil
Preparation:
Place the juice of lime and olive oil in bowl and mix to make a dressing. Finely chop the cilantro and add to the mix, along with black pepper to taste.
Peel and slice the avocado lengthwise into 1/8ths and arrange on a salad plate at 1, 3, 6, and 9 0'clock (makes two salad plates). Arrange the pepper slices on the salad plate so that you end up with what looks like a colorful starburst or pinwheel.
On top of the arrangement, drop a few of the onion rings. Drizzle with the well-mixed dressing and serve immediately.
