Avocado and Egg Mayo

Big hit. Benefits from less mayo than in plain egg mayo mix plus having avocado and other 'super' food elements.

Mix together 1 tsp cider vinegar with good pinch of turmeric and good pinch of cayenne pepper, 1tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tsp Dijon mustard (or 2 tbsp of Dijon mayonnaise), and 1 tbsp of chopped parsley. Carefully stir in one roughly chopped avocado ensuring all bits of avocado are covered. Then stir in 4 roughly chopped hard boiled eggs and finely chopped half red onion. Salt and pepper to taste.

Whether within sandwich/pitta bread or as part of salad, little gem lettuce leaves are a good addition. 

White gazpacho

Lunch at the Quod in Oxford on Friday included White Gazpacho for three of the four of us (Mr B doesn't 'do' cold soups). Yum. Never had it before. Many recipes out there. Will definitely be trying some and will update here as and when.
