• Mash avocados in a mortar and pestle, or in a bowl using a fork, potato masher or a whisk. Add salt to taste and remaining lemon juice and mix until smooth. Scrape into the bowl with cabbage and stir together until shredded cabbage is thoroughly coated with mashed avocado. Taste and adjust salt. Add pepper if desired. If mixture isn't creamy, add more avocado.

CHILEAN-STYLE AVOCADO AND SHRIMP SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the water, bay leaf, allspice, lemon and salt in a saucepan over high heat.
• Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to medium-low and add the shrimp.
• Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are curled and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they are significantly better if just cooked through.
• Drain the shrimp and allow to cool completely before assembling the salad.
• To prepare the sauce, rinse the anchovy fillet, pat dry with paper towels and mince.
• Combine the anchovy, parsley and mayonnaise in a bowl.
• Place a strainer over the bowl and juice the lemon over the contents.

• To assemble the salad, cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. With a large spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh and reserve the empty shells to present the salad.
• Distribute the cabbage among 4 salad plates.
• Make a hollow in the center of the cabbage and place the empty avocado shell in the hollow.
• Cut the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Place the shrimp and avocado in a bowl.
• Fold the sauce into the shrimp mixture and mound the salad in the avocado shells.
• Serve immediately.

SCALLOP TACOS WITH CABBAGE SLAW AND AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender combine the sauce ingredients and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
• In a large bowl whisk the marinade ingredients, including 1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove the small, tough side muscle that might be left on each scallop. Add the scallops to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes while the grill preheats. Note: If the scallops are large, you may want to cut them in half.
• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).
• In a medium bowl combine the cabbage and onion.
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Lift the scallops one at a time from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Discard the marinade. Grill the scallops over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until lightly browned and just opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill.
• Warm the tortillas over direct high heat for about 10 seconds on each side.
• Fill each tortilla with some of the cabbage mixture and three scallops. Top with the sauce. Best if served immediately.
