1 tablespoon caribe (or other crushed dried red chile)
3 ripe Haas or Fuerte avocados
1 head red leaf or Boston lettuce
Directions
To make dressing combine the lime juice, olive oil, gar-
lic, and caribe
Cut avocados in half, remove pit and
skin
Then cut into 1-inch cubes
Place in a favorite pot-
tery serving bowl or a food storage container and gently
toss with the dressing so as not to break up the cubes of
avocado.
Rinse lettuce leaves and pat diy
To serve, place a por-
tion of the marinated avocado on two to three lettuce
leaves on a chilled plate.
If you make ahead, the avocado should be well sealed
against oxidation-either by wrapping tight with plastic
wrap, placing it carefully down against the avocados, or
by sealing into plastic freezer or food storage containers
