Tangerine and Avocado Salad and Chicken B’stilla ~ French Fridays with Dorie Recipe

by

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!

Bottom Layer of Filo with Almonds






Unbelievably delicious!

 




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!

    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.

    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…
