AVOCADO WITH SOY-LIME VINAIGRETTE

Avocado With Soy-Lime Vinaigrette image

State Bird Provisions on Fillmore Street in San Francisco is the brainchild of a wife-and-husband team of native Californians, Nicole Krasinski and Stuart Brioza. At the restaurant, food is brought out on carts, as it is in dim-sum parlors. Although the concept is familiar to everyone at this point, these are laden not with the mostly brown and steamed food common to dim-sum places but with gorgeous, far-out, inventively served creations. Many of their dishes were too complicated for me to deal with. This dish, though, is representative of the restaurant's food, highly flavored, unusual, delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup dark soy sauce (or usukuchi, white soy sauce, if you have it)
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
2 3-inch pieces kombu (kelp), wiped with a damp rag
1/2 cup bonito flakes
1 cup grapeseed oil
2 ripe avocados
Coarse salt
Togarashi or black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl; let sit as little as a half-hour and up to 2 hours; strain, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Whisk in the grapeseed oil to make a vinaigrette.
Peel, pit and slice the avocados; arrange them on 2 or 4 plates; dress to taste. Sprinkle with salt, togarashi or pepper and toasted sesame seeds, and serve.

MANGO-AVOCADO SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE

Mango-Avocado Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

Inspired by Vietnamese green papaya salad, this salad stars ripe, juicy mangoes and dresses them in the classic punchy lime-fish sauce dressing. Tender torn greens, crunchy sweet snap peas and creamy avocado round out this dish with both crispy and creamy bites. The cooling salad is the perfect side to accompany grilled or roasted fish, chicken, or steak. If mangoes are unavailable, tomatoes or sweet stone fruit like peaches are tasty options.

Ingredients

3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2 limes)
1/4 cup minced shallot
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 large head Boston or butter lettuce (1 pound), trimmed and leaves torn into large pieces
2 ripe mangoes, sliced or cubed
8 ounces snap peas, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 ripe avocados, sliced or cubed
