Servings: persons

1 cup Buttermilk
2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce
3 whole Firm-ripe Avocados, Peeled, Pitted, Then Sliced
1/4 cups Creme Fraiche Or Sour Cream
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
1/2 teaspoons Hot Sauce
1/2 cups Chopped Tomato
1 Tablespoon Chopped Jalapeno
2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Red Onion
2 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
1 cup Yellow Cornmeal
4 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil, For Frying

1
In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 Tablespoons of hot sauce and avocado slices. Soak for 30 minutes.
2
Sauce:
3
In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche (or sour cream), lime juice, cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce. Chill until ready to use.
4
Pico:
5
Combine chopped tomato, jalapeno, red onion and cilantro. Set aside.
6
Fried avocados:
7
Put cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dredge soaked avocado slices in the cornmeal, shaking to remove excess cornmeal.
8
Heat several tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Place one layer of avocado slices in the pan for about 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy and golden. I had to repeat the process twice to fit all of my avocado. Remove the fried avocado slices to a paper towel-lined plate.
9
To serve: arrange slices on salad plates, drizzle with creme fraiche sauce and divide pico into the center of each salad.

Notes:
