Cuban Avocado Onion Salad

 Cuban Avocado Onion Salad Close Up
Brad and I used to live around the corner from a little Cuban restaurant with great sangria. We probably went there twice a month and, the first several times, Brad suggested we try their avocado and onion salad. It sounded pretty lame to me (Just a bunch or raw onions and avocados? How is that even a salad?) but when I finally let him order it I was properly chastised for being so close-minded.  From then on, we ordered it as a starter every time we visited.  It was amazing – and, thanks to its simplicity, easy to make at home once we moved.

The trick is to use perfectly ripe, high quality avocados – no easy trick, I know. Buy them under ripe and check them daily until they feel perfect: just tender when pressed but not yet mushy.

The restaurant used white onion and, while we’ve experimented with sweet onion, red, and Spanish brown, we agree that we prefer the extra bite of white onion and how it compliments the creamy avocado. For the full experience, try to make sure that every bite you take has a little bit of avocado and onion.

    This is really a dish where the sum of the parts adds up to way more than you would imagine. Seriously, try this. I like it with extra cracked pepper and a few extra splashes of red wine vinegar. Mmmmm.

    Thank you for the compliments Bahan. I was re-reading this post. The little spot we used to live around the corner from was called Versailles. Pretty well known spot in LA. Thinking of it makes me want to make sangria. Maybe I can talk Maggie into a sangria post soon. 🙂
