Cold Chicken, Avocado And Lime Mayonnaise ©
Avocado and chicken an excellent combination!
What to do with a glut of avocados?…… I grew the tree from seed and 20 years later……. :))))))
Friends always ask me what to do with left over Turkey after Christmas and this simple recipe comes to mind, which is also delicious with left over roast chicken and combines perfectly with avocado. There is always something luxurious about home made mayonnaise and this lime flavored mayonnaise recipe makes a very light and enjoyable dish.

Avocado Vinaigrette And Pink Peppercorns ©
Avocados, avocados and more avocados!
This is one of my most favourite foods!
Easy
2 Persons
Preparation Time : 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 avocado
Vinaigrette
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
4-6 tsp olive oil
Garnish
Pink pepper corns
Fresh coriander
Method :
- When buying an avocado, if it is soft to the touch, then it should be used the same day. If it is hard it can take three to four days to ripen at room temperature. If you are thinking of preparing avocado for friends you must take this into consideration and I always buy an extra one, as sometimes they are bruised inside.
- Before starting, gather all your ingredients together and make up the french dressing. Beat the vinaigrette so that it emulsifies.
- Ten minutes before serving, wash and cut lengthwise through to the stone your avocados. Twist the two halves to separate them and stick the point of your knife into the stone and remove it.
- Drizzle lemon juice over all the cut surface of the avocado, to stop it discolouring.
- Pour the vinaigrette into the hole where the stone was and decorate with pink peppercorns.Use a grinder to grate a little red peppercorn over the avocado halves.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
The harvest from my tree!!!
Just delicious…….
Mix the ingredients of the vinaigrette until the oil combines with the rest of the ingredients and emulsifies.
Garnish with pink pepper corns and coriander.
Serve as a starter.
Add a few grinds of pink peppercorns for good measure!
