Salad ►
This simple salad, bright with lime juice and the sharp taste of tomatillos and coriander, combines some of the fresh produce for which California is known. Tomatillos add an authentic note; see if you can find them. Remove the husks before slicing. Prepare the avocados at the last minute, so that they are coated with lime juice before they have a chance to turn brown.
