    Malagasy Lasary Avocat is a very simple avocado salad.  It utilizes the avocado as a vessel for the delicious simple salad which makes for a lovely presentation.  The avocado is called zavoka in Malagsy, avocat is the French name.  The season for them is January to April. The cost of one avocado is only about ten cents each! One of the highlights I understand about visiting Madagascar is to try all sorts of fruits that are only found there.  Some have no translation to the English language.  We enjoyed this pretty salad as part of Malagasy meal however it would be delicious for any occasion.
