An avocado salad recipe from Christine Thornton in Glasgow for Come Dine With Me

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 2.5ml/half teaspoon caster sugar
  • 10ml/2 teaspoons chopped mint
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 45ml/3 tablespoons grapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 3 large Hass avocados
  • 1 large grapefruit
  • 1 large orange
  • Mint sprigs to garnish

Method: How to make avocado and citrus salad

1. First make the dressing by whisking the lemon juice, caster sugar, mint and seasoning together until the sugar has dissolved. Gradually whisk in the oil.

2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the stones. Cut the avocado halves in half again, so that the peel can be removed easily by starting it off with the point of a knife. Cut the flesh into thin sections and place in a bowl. Pour the dressing over. Cut a slice from top and bottom of the grapefruit and orange so that they stand flat on a board. Cut downwards, in narrow strips, to remove peel and pith. With a sharp knife cut between the segment membranes to remove the flesh, working over the bowl containing the avocado so that no juice is wasted. Add the grapefruit and orange segments to the bowl.

3. Arrange the avocado, citrus fruits and dressing on individual serving dishes or plates and garnish with sprigs of mint.

  1. I watched a Come Dine With Me eposode recently and i was appaled at christines behaviour towards Paul. His evening was clearly superior to hers and she could not handle him 2 win so cheaply marked him one. he deserved a 9 at least. she commented his evening 'was too showy' well christine the whole point of the show is too show who is best. I think you just did not want poor Paul to win. I think there should be some rule in the show for unfair marks made to sabbatage.
