How to Make Avocado Fans With Black Olive Vinaigrette
- In a small jar with a lid, combine 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons black olive paste, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until well emulsified.
- Halve or quarter 2 ripe Hass avocados or Florida avocados. Remove the pit and peel.
- Gently slice each avocado crosswise into thin slices, being careful to keep the slices connected at the base.
- Using a spatula, carefully transfer the avocado slices, cut-side down, to a serving platter. Gently fan out the slices to create a beautiful presentation.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the avocado fans. Drizzle generously with the black olive vinaigrette and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
