Avocado with mango

Ingredients

Avocados 2

Mango 1

Vinaigrette ½ cup

Cream 2 tbsp (optional)

Ginger 1 tbsp grated

Lettuce ½

Corn beef 1 cup slice in strip

Olive oil 2 tbsp

Balsamic vinegar 2 tbsp

Method

Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed and peel. Slice like a fan and place on a plate. Arrange some lettuce and the corn beef next to it. Peel and cut mango into small pieces and mix with the vinaigrette; (see vinaigrette page?) add the ginger, cream and season if necessary. (Add vinegar if you like it with more tang.) Pour mixture over the avocado and drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the lettuce and the corn meat. If you want to be more creative, then serve with mango and ginger sorbet.

This recipe is my own design; I was asked to make up a recipe in 1985 to highlight Australian produce for a book called “The great cooks of Australia”. It is called “Mango des tropiques” and today this recipe is widely used throughout the world (with some variations of course.)
