    Oh my, this recipe by Sonia Uvezian from THE BOOK OF YOGURT captured my attention & imagination. I read it, closed my eyes & a pic of it flashed thru my mind - absolutely lovely! What hostess would not be proud to serve this dish as a brunch item, luncheon entree or dinner party salad? (Time does not include refrigeration time)

    Molded Avocado Cream Salad, Oh my, this recipe by Sonia Uvezian from THE BOOK OF YOGURT captured my attention & imagination I read it, closed my eyes & a pic of it flashed thru my mind – absolutely lovely! What hostess would not be proud to serve this dish as a brunch item, luncheon entree or dinner party salad? (Time does not include refrigeration time), If you love avocados like I do, then this is the recipe for you! We thought this was best with tortilla chips although we also enjoyed it with crackers It is similar to a guacamole but it is a bit more elegant and maybe if you don’t have someone hangin over your shoulder waiting for dinner you will be able to make it look more elegant as well I reduced the recipe in half since it was just the two of us and used a smaller mold I was also worried that it would stick in the mold since it was a bit intricate but it slid right out Thanks for a great recipe Twissis!
