    Here is another idea as a summer salad I have just fished out one of my recipe notes. Although Carpaccio should only apply for beef, indulge the old geezer as far as names are concerned! LOL. Avocado, Scallops & Passion Fruit Carpaccio:

    • Avocado: 3 ripe, but still firm
    • Passion fruit: 3 large maracujas type or 5 small
    • Green lemons/limes: 3
    • Olive oil (EV): 2 large tablespoons
    • Sweet basil: 3 lage leaves
    • Salt (to taste)
    • Freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    1. -Press the juice out of the green lemons in a bowl. Cut passion fruit in two and strain over the lemon juice to take pips out (discard. You may keep a few for decoration, though).Mix.
    2. -Cut scallops into thin slices and place on a large dish with space betwen them.
    3. -Peel the avocadoes. Cut them in two halves. Dicard nut. Cut avocado into thin slices and place between scallops slices.
