Name: Avocado Sauce/ Salsa de Aguacate
Eaten in: Cuba
Foodie: Linda
At its peak, a good avocado can be consumed plain, without any adornments, just like any fruit, and still taste fantastic. The “butter-avocados”, the best ones in my opinion, have a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth quality, very similar to butter, hence their name! I remember the ones from my Granny’s avocado tree, their light green flesh turned any salad into a feast. This avocado salsa recipe, adapted from Eating Cuba, does justice to great avocados. The full flavor is captured in this simple salsa, and it’s up to you to sit back and let all that goodness explode in your mouth.
