The Lush Life Blood Orange Margarita
Tart, delicious, and so beautiful, blood orange is something to celebrate the season. Supermarkets often store blood oranges sent from far, far away lands, and I find that they smell and have a soft touch. It is better to buy in the farmers market. Or rather, if you live in a warm climate like Santa Barbara (where the days are warm and the nights are cool) buy a tree and plant it in your backyard. If you are cramped in space, grow a dwarf variety in a large pot. You’ll know he’s ready to pick citrus when his skin looks a little whitish like rusty powder.
The Lush Life Avocado Slaw
This slaw has been a huge hit for years in my home, whether it’s for a party in the fifties, whether it’s a regular home Taco on Tuesday night. You can use fresh radishes and cabbage in your hand. I use a hand mandolin to split carrots and radishes. You can do it a few hours earlier. I love it the next day too.
Ingredients
3 avocados, halved, chopped
5 radishes, very thinly sliced
½ cup lime fresh juice (4-5 large lime)
3 tablespoons (packed) cilantro leaves
1 jalapeño chili, halved, grown, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
