Fashion and Food Blogger Imitates the Avocado


The fashion and food blogger Luxirare has quite a mysterious treat for us.


An artistic rendition of an avocado salad, this dish is stunning in its presentation.
The dish has allusions to an avocado sushi roll and the ingredients are also based in the Asian realm of spices.


Luxirare displayed her talents manipulating a soft fruit to bend to her will and inventiveness. The guide to making this dish (available on the blog), while certainly hands on, can be completed by anyone with the time and patience.


The base ingredients Luxirare recommends are two avocados, and one or two crab legs, depending on how many people are being served. The other ingredients for the salad are, lime, garlic, cilantro, crab leg meat, sprouts, dried cranberries, and red onion. The outer spice mixture is made of, red peppercorn, dried edamame, wasabe, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.


The final product, to a glancing eye, might seem like a slightly odd looking avocado, but beneath the seed and spice covered exterior is a carved up avocado stuffed with a vegetable-and-crab-filled delicacy.

“I played with the actual shape and textured skin of the avocado,” Luxirare said, “and brought that into consideration when I was making this avocado salad.”


She certainly did.
