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!

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!

My heritage is Greek and this looks scrumptious. I love Greek and Turkish foods. I will be trying this one!
Creating Amazing Meals says
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)
Monica says
Oh wow I’m so jealous of your tangerine tree! And your dish looks great!
Audrey says
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…
