Mashed up, this salad becomes a crunchier alternative to guacamole, a spread for bread, a thick sauce for tacos or quesadillas. If you prefer not to mash it, it's equally beautiful as a stand-alone salad made with sliced avocados and thin, almost transparent slices of red radish.

Instructions
- Slice avocados in half lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, and place in a bowl or mortar. Add scallions, a smidge of salt, and juice from one lime.
- Mash ingredients together with a wooden spoon or pestle; leave plenty of texture. Taste, then adjust salt and possibly more lime.
- Serve surrounded by radishes; alternately, slice radishes very finely and fold the slices into the mashed avocado.
