This refreshing salad is out of the ordinary
and makes a good accompaniment to spicy meals. To select a ripe avocado, purchase a hard
one. Allow to ripen unrefrigerated 2-5 days until it yields to some finger pressure all
over, but never as much as a ripe peach.
1 med or 2 sm avocados
Salt and pepper to taste, about 1 tsp each
2 tbsp lime juice
1/4 c regular or light mayonnaise
1/2 c chopped onion
2 c chopped iceberg lettuce
Cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges
Peel avocados and cut into 1" cubes. In a salad bowl, mix salt, pepper, lime juice,
and mayonnaise. Add avocado and onion; mix slightly. Add lettuce and toss lightly. Garnish
with tomatoes. |
