WASABI AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

AVOCADO WASABI SALAD

Steps:

• Begin by whisking the dressing ingredients together, except for the oil. Whisk until smooth. If your avocado isn't super ripe, you may wish to blend the dressing in a food processor. Slowly add oil until emulsified and the dressing is smooth, refrigerate until ready to use. Toast your almonds in a dry pan over medium heat if they are not already toasted. Set aside. In the same pan, add 1 tsp of oil and add broccoli. Sautee over high heat until the broccoli is beginning to color in spots and is bright green, but still tender-crisp. Sprinkle lightly with salt and set aside. Add the second teaspoon of oil to the same pan and add the chickpeas. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook the chickpeas until they are golden on all sides, using a spatula to loosen them as necessary, but don't worry if they stick a little. Add the wasabi powder, sugar, and tamari and stir well. Remove from pan and set aside. In a large bowl, add your salad greens. Add the broccoli, 3/4 of the chickpeas, 3/4 of the almonds, and 3/4 of the carrots. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Plate the salad, and garnish the top with the remaining chickpeas, almonds and carrots. Crack fresh black pepper over the top. Serve immediately.

Line six small serving bowls or tumblers with two or three chicory leaves. Pile in avocado and prawn mixture. Top with watercress and lime wedges. Serve with prawn crackers.

CREAMY AVOCADO WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• Puree all ingredients together well, adding sake or other dry white wine to the desired consistency, then chill for at least 1 hour.
• Serve as dressing.
• Also good with crab cakes!
• Note: make sure to use a fully ripe avocado for this recipe! It needs to be ripe and rich - Californian (Haas or Gwen) avocados have a buttery and richer flavor than avocados from Florida or other areas. Otherwise your dressing will come out tasting a little flat.
