AVOCADO-MINT DIP



Avocado-Mint Dip image

This luscious dip has a velvety smooth texture and a fresh herbal bite. You can substitute any other herbs for the mint; cilantro makes it somewhat guacamole-like, while chives add their allium sweetness, and basil is sharp and bright. Serve with crudités or heap on toasted bread to make crostini.

AVOCADO WITH LEMON AND OLIVE OIL



Avocado with Lemon and Olive Oil image

Because this recipe is so simple, using excellent ingredients is important. Choose a ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed. Use smooth, richly flavored extra-virgin olive oil, and splurge on good sea salt; we recommend Fleur de Sel. Serve with toasted rustic bread, and let guests spread the avocado on it as they would fresh butter.
