NOTES
Browning: Mix the avocado with the lemon juice so it won't brown.
1. Slicing - Cut the ingredients very small. Then you get even more flavor.
2. Smoked chicken layer - Let the chicken drain from the sauce before adding it to the ring. If the chicken is too wet, the tower will collapse.
3. Ginger syrup - For a hint of sweetness and a touch of ginger. Because ginger is one of the best flavor combinations with curry, you can find a homemade ginger syrup recipe here.
4. Avocado - is a subtle, creamy, sweet, and mild flavor. A ripe avocado isn't firm, but a bit soft. If the pit of the seed is clear, you know for sure that your avocado is good.
5. Storage -
- You can make this salad in advance. The smoked chicken with sauce can be made a day in advance and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The avocado onion mixture can be made a few hours before eating. This mixture must also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You'll only have to assemble the salad before serving your starter.
- You can't freeze this salad.
