This innovative Asian-inspired avocado salad represents the perfect fusion of Eastern flavours and Western molecular gastronomy, creating a sophisticated dish that transforms simple ingredients into a gourmet experience. This unique avocado in salad showcases how Sticky Balsamic Truffle Pearls can enhance traditional Asian flavour profiles while maintaining the dish’s authentic character.

Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Asian-Style Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together Sticky Balsamic Original, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey. Slowly add sesame oil while whisking until well combined. Add chili flakes if using. Set aside to let flavours meld for this avocado in salad.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables for Your Avocado in Salad

Dice avocados into uniform cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add blanched edamame, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced radishes. This preparation ensures even distribution throughout your avocado in salad.

Step 3: Create the Asian Greens Base

Arrange mixed Asian greens on a large serving platter or individual bowls to create an attractive foundation for your avocado in salad.

Step 4: Combine and Dress the Avocado in Salad

Gently toss the avocado and vegetable mixture with half of the prepared dressing, being careful not to mash the avocado cubes. This technique preserves the integrity of your avocado in salad.

Step 5: Plate Your Asian Avocado in Salad

Spoon the dressed avocado mixture over the bed of Asian greens. Drizzle with the remaining dressing to ensure every element of your avocado in salad is perfectly seasoned.

Step 6: Final Garnishes for the Perfect Avocado in Salad

Sprinkle sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds over the salad. Just before serving, add Sticky Balsamic Truffle Pearls and Original Pearls for bursts of umami and traditional balsamic flavor that make this avocado in salad extraordinary.

Step 7: Serve Your Asian Avocado in Salad

Present with chopsticks or regular cutlery, ensuring each portion gets a good mix of pearls for the full flavor experience of this unique avocado in salad.
