Cold Avocado Salad

Salad - Fruit - -

INGREDIENTS

2 avocadoes
1 tomato, your favorite kind
1 small (6 inch / 15 cm or less) cucumber
Enough lettuce to make a bed (can be omitted)
Dressing
Juice of 1-2 limes
2 T - 1/4 cup olive oil
1 or 2 cloves freshly pressed garlic
1 or 2 t each of dried oregano, parsley, rosemary, basil, fennel
Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

Cut all but the lettuce into bite sized chunks, and put in a bowl.

Prepare the dressing - if using the lettuce, use the larger measurements.

Toss dressing with cut up avocado mixture, reserving half if you are using the lettuce.

Chill avocado mixture if desired.

If serving on the lettuce, shred lettuce and prepare a "bed" on which to place your mixture. Place avocado mixture in center, leaving 1 inch / 2.5 cm around the edge of the lettuce. Pour extra dressing over the edges, getting some on the lettuce. Garnish with a curl of lime peel.

NOTES

Mr Falafel's warm avocado salad was so good to me that I had to share my recipe for cold avocado salad.
