I present to you: Mexican avocado salad

Mixed roasted vegetables; marinated the tomato; cheese chips; yogurt corn sauce; coriander oil; spicy sauce.

The ingredients

Top left: Yogurt, corn and fermented hot sauce
To me this sauce is essential to the final dish, it ties all the element together. The yogurt contributes to the milky tanginess. The corn for the frangants and sweetness. The fermented hot sauce for the spice, it's made from Birdseye chille( Mexican chille are hard to find here), apple cider vinegar, sea salt .
.

Bottom left: vegetable mix
We have the roasted pumpkins, roasted sweet potato, roasted carrot and boiled sweet corn.
I decided to roast the vegetable to intensify and bring out its natural sugar. As for the corn, I kept it simple by boiling it to retain its fresh flavour with making it sweeter.
.
Middle top: marinated tomato
Tomato by its own is nice, but I want to make it a WOW element. I marinaded it in agave nectar, Apple cider vinegar, tequila, thyme and sea salt. The end product is a punchy sweet and sour thyme-mee flavoured tomato.
.
The middle: coriander oil
Just for an extra layer of flavour, it's made by pounding it in a morta and pesto with seasalt, coriander leaves and oil.
.
Middle bottom: avocado
.
Right: QUESO QUESADILLA chips
I have grated the cheese in a round shape mold and baked it in a over until slightly colour and very crispy. This adds a nutty cheese flavour and a crispy texture, it's also a inspiration from the traditional taco.

Building the dish

1. Cover a mold with cling wrap, place a layer of sliced avocado

2. Add the corn

3. Add the roasted sweet potato and pumpkin

4. Add marinated tomato, cover and chill to let the flavour mingle around.

5. While waiting, I put the sauces on the plate.
Yogurt corn sauce

6. Chille sauce

7. The chilled salad mix

8. Add the roasted carrot and decorate with coriander leaf

9. Lastly add drizzle coriander oil and place a cheese cracker on the side of the salad

and there is the final product!
