Delcado with Green Mango, Granny Smith and Jarrah Honey

Created by chef Mark Best for Delcado.

Nothing tastes quite like a Delcado. And these fresh, vibrant Delcados dressed with green mango, apple and Jarrah honey are the perfect summer entertainer.

“I love to eat Delcado out of my hand with a teaspoon. The addition of the texture and acid of the green mango and apple really elevate the experience. By balancing locally grown Jarrah honey with lime and virgin olive oil we created an instant classic,” said chef Mark Best, one of the country’s most awarded chefs.

Delcados are the ideal avocado for this recipe because they have a richer, fuller flavour and you can be guaranteed of cutting the perfect avocado half. Delcados are slow-grown, left on the tree almost twice as long as other avocados, which gives them time to develop their deliciously unique, nutty taste and buttery texture.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 Delcados

• 1 small green mango 

• 1 medium Granny Smith apple 

• 2 limes 

• 2 tablespoons Jarrah honey 

• 50ml extra virgin olive oil 

• 1 tbsp apple balsamic vinegar

• 1tsp freshly ground black pepper 

• 1tsp Murray River salt 
  

Method

1. Thinly slice the green mango, then cut into matchsticks and finely dice. Repeat with the green apple.

2. Add to a mixing bowl then squeeze in the juice of the two limes. Add the olive oil, apple balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and half the honey. Mix well.

3. Cut the Delcado in half and pop the seeds. Spoon the dressing over the halves and finish with some ground pepper.

4. Drizzle the remaining honey over each Delcado.

5. Eat with a teaspoon.

Notes

Delcados are the best choice for recipes that showcase the perfect avocado half or slice. The inside of a Delcado is checked, using x-ray-like, near infrared, technology, before they leave the packing shed to guarantee quality.
