Tangerine and Avocado Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
The tart citrus, sweet Balsamic, and crunchy Almonds nicely echo the flavors of the Chicken B’stilla.
Fill bowls with Spring Greens
Top with:
Diced Avocado
Toasted, slivered Almonds
Tangerine sections
Fresh Cilantro leaves
Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/3 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
2/3 Cup Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Wow! This dish reminded of us meals we ate in Turkey and Greece. The flavor combination is incredible ~ it’s infused with Cinnamon, Ginger, Coriander, Lemon, Cilantro, Parsley, Honey, and Saffron! Not to mention tender Chicken, crunchy Almonds, and flaky pastry! Over-the-top good!

A veritable melting pot of flavors! |
 This dish was unlike anything else we’ve made, so creating it was a fun, challenging, and rewarding experience! This would be a wonderful summer dish, as well.
Bon Appetit!

Gosh, that salad looks amazing! I love the addition of avocados…mmmmmm. Your b’stilla looks fabulous, too…I didn’t have time to try it this week…it makes a stunning presentation 🙂
Love your b’stilla…….it looks amazing. I’ve made it a few times b/c my husband is of Turkish background and he enjoys it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Great presentation for the b’stilla and the salad looks inviting! If they are in front of me now, there will be no left over.
Thank you all! It was interesting to make. And the flavors definitely took us right back to Istanbul!
My heritage is Greek and this looks scrumptious. I love Greek and Turkish foods. I will be trying this one!
Thanks, Angela! You’ll probably have an easier time with the Filo than I did, but it was so worth it! (I thought you were in FFWD, too)
Oh wow I’m so jealous of your tangerine tree! And your dish looks great!
I think you’ve got the prettiest filo-folding I’ve seen! Gorgeous! (Mine was very crumply…I think I just need practice.) And I can see we like the same china! 🙂 It’s been a lot of fun to collect it…now I’m in love with the new roses.
It all looks so lovely! I’m definitely trying that salad out – it’s so pretty! 🙂
That salad looks like it was a great accompaniment to the Bistilla and what a great tree. Mine is refusing to fruit… This dish was rather interesting I loved it. and yours looks yummy. B:)
Your b’stilla looks wonderful. I’m inspired to try this again!!
Your salad looks like a great accompaniment. Very nice.
Thank you all so much! I’m bowled over by the compliments from my fellow FFWD bloggers!
Everything looks delicious! I love the salad, and I’m very jealous of the tangerine tree!
Beautiful shot of b’stilla.

Oh my goodness – over the top goodness is right! This looks absolutely amazing. What time shall I be over for dinner 🙂
What a beautiful tree Susan and the b’stilla looks SO good! Were you visiting Istanbul lately? We just got back in November. 🙂
Yum! I need to get a cookbook holder akin to yours. My book is now thoroughly splattered with butter due to an accident during the butter-the-filo stage of the recipe…
Envious of your tangerine tree! The pastry looks so incredibly flaky.
Your photos just make we want to make it again! And your salad is just beautiful!
Great looking food. Love the tang. tree..the only thing growing here is snow!
Beautiful photos…the salad is a great idea with this chicken dish! I wish I would have made a vege or salad to go with mine…oh well, next time.
Your pictures are fantastic! Glad you liked this!! 🙂
