A SAMBAL ENSEMBLE
In a bowl, combine the diced Tomato, diced onion, ½ of the picked coriander, Lemon zest (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the mayo with water in 5ml increments until slightly loosened.
AVO SOME Avocado
Halve the Avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the avocado skin, keeping the flesh of the remaining half intact. Place a pan or griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Brush the cut-side of the avocado with oil. Grill the avocado, cut-side down, for 3-5 minutes or until grill-lines begin to form on the avocado. On completion, slice and toss with the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
