ROASTED PEPPER AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Place bell peppers on a baking sheet. Broil, 4 to 5 inches from heat, 5 minutes on each side or until entire surface of each bell pepper is blistered and blackened slightly.
• Place pepper in a paper bag. Close bag and let cool 15 to 20 minutes.
• Once the peppers are cooled, cut the cores and remove. Cut peppers in half lengthwise in half.
• Peel off skin with paring knife and rinse until cold water to remove the seeds.
• Slice bell peppers into 1/2 inch strips and place in a shallow dish.
• Cut the avocados into 1/4 inch strips and add to the bell peppers.
• Sprinkle with shallots.
• In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Pour over bell pepper mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

FETA, AVOCADO & RED PEPPER SALAD WITH HONEY-LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the dressing. Grate one lime into a large salad bowl and squeeze the juice of both limes on top. Add the honey, mustard, oil, salt and pepper and whisk with a fork or small whisk until thickened.
• Crumble the feta into mouthful-sized chunks between your fingers. Peel, stone and chop the avocados. Deseed and chop the peppers. Drain and rinse the beans. Shred the lettuce.
• Tip all the ingredients into the salad bowl and toss to mix. Serve with some good bread.

ROAST CORN, PRAWN, PEPPER & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• First, make the dressing. Put the shallot, chillies and lime juice in a small bowl. Season, then whisk in the oil. Add the honey to taste, if using. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Stand one of the corn cobs upright in a dish, then, holding it at the top, slice down the sides using a very sharp knife to remove the kernels. Work round the cob until all the kernels have been removed. Repeat with the remaining cobs, then put the kernels in a small roasting tin and the peppers in a second tin. Season both, then add 1½ tbsp oil to each. Toss both to coat. Roast the peppers on the top shelf of the oven until slightly charred, about 30 mins. Roast the corn, tossing halfway through, for 15-20 mins.
• Tip the corn into a bowl and set aside. Brush the spring onions with the extra oil, put in the roasting tin and roast for 12-15 mins, until soft and slightly charred.
• Chop the avocado flesh or slice it. Immediately pour over half the lime juice to prevent it browning, then season.
• Slice the roasted peppers into strips, then arrange them, the spring onions and corn in a broad, shallow bowl. Add the coriander, treating it like a salad leaf (pull off any very coarse or long stalks). Spoon over the dressing.
• Pat the prawns dry with kitchen paper - if they're wet, they won't fry properly. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and, when really hot, add the prawns. Cook until they turn from grey to pink - this will happen very quickly. When you see this starting to happen, add the spices. Toss to combine, then season and squeeze over the juice of the remaining lime. Tip the prawns onto the salad and serve immediately.
