Avocado Salad

L. gave these Indonesian produce to me yesterday, the reason being they would add to his "cholestrol"! (Although he will not miss the chance to tell people that he is an "all-rounder", no one can convince me that any education system can produce one - ha!)
Anyway, these fruits measured 16 cm in length and roughly, 9 cm in their longest breadths. One looked unripe and the other, over ripe;but in fact, both were already fully ripe!I discovered that when I dropped them on the floor! The green one cracked a little, and some aromatic soft flesh slid out from it. The brown one withstood the shock, but there was a really soft patch on it. I ate the latter that evening.
After scooping out the flesh, I chopped some lettuce, cilantro and crimson bell peppers.
I think Japanese Tasty Dressing really goes well with avocado -and if you don't have it, just the gomadare for shabu-shabu and a bit of mayonnaise and soya sauce, pepper, and some sesame seeds will do some magic. The result: a halfway between guacamola and salad!
