THE BEST GUACAMOLE
Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Steps:
- Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Divide a 250g block of halloumi into 8 slices. It can be very salty, so soak the slices in cold water for at least 10 mins, if you have time. Pat dry, then rub a spoonful of the Cajun mix into each slice, and reserve 4 slices for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with').
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the halloumi slices on it and grill for 3-4 mins, checking occasionally until golden.
- Set aside 2 tbsp guacamole for tomorrow's lunch and chill. Place 2 slices of halloumi on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
- Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.

Steps:
- For the cups:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- If using cooking spray, spray a 24-cup non-stick mini muffin pan with cooking spray. If using vegetable oil, brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with a thin layer of vegetable oil using a pastry brush.
- Push each wonton wrapper into a well of the mini muffin pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and increase the heat to 400 degrees F for the shrimp later on.
- Remove the baked wonton cups to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the guacamole:.
- Halve the avocados and remove their pits. Scoop out the flesh and discard the skins. Roughly chop the avocado into cubes (you should have about 1 1/4 cups of cubed avocado).
- Add the avocado to a wide, shallow bowl. Use a fork to mash as smooth as you like it.
- Stir the lime and hot sauce into the mashed avocado.
- Finely chop the cherry tomatoes and add the avocado along with the cilantro and scallion. Gently fold together until combined. Season with salt to taste (usually just a pinch).
- For the shrimp:.
- Combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic and Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl along with a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Stir to coat the shrimp.
- Tip the contents of the bowl out onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes (the oven should be at 400 degrees F from earlier) until pink and cooked throughout.
- Assemble:.
- Fill each baked wonton cup with a slightly heaped teaspoonful of guacamole. Top each one with a shrimp. Sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately - the wontons will start to become soft very quickly once filled.
- NOTE:.
- If you need to make these ahead - prep the wonton wrappers and shrimp in advance. You can keep the baked wontons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can keep the cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Make the guacamole just before filling and serving otherwise it will start to oxidize, turning brown.
