Recipe: Avocado Catalan

Misc.
Avocado Catalan
Serves: 4

1 Cup mild olive oil
Cup sherry vinegar
Cup (or to taste) fresh orange juice
Cup sliced almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp capers, drained, rinsed, and chopped medium fine
2 Tbsp grated orange zest
1 Tbsp pureed or finely chopped anchovies
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 ripe California avocados
1 small head lettuce or 2 small bunches watercress, large stems trimmed

The flavors of southern Spain permeate this dish. The sauce is thick, crunchy, and aromatic.

You can use anchovies that are packed in olive oil and chop them very fine, to a paste.

If you use the salt-packed anchovies, be sure to fillet them and rinse well.

The almonds do not have to be blanched; in fact, sliced natural almonds are ideal.

Just toast them in a 350 degrees oven until golden, about 7 minutes.

Whisk all the ingredients except the avocados and lettuce together.

Divide the lettuce among 4 salad plates.

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and peels, then cut into slices or chunks.

Place the avocados on the lettuce and spoon the vinaigrette over top.
