An Avocado Recipe for Avocado Detractors
June 8th, 2010
Avocado and Feta Salsa
I’m sure we can all think of a few foods that we wish we liked, but just can’t seem to acquire a taste for. Whether it’s the hottest superfood, guaranteed to extend your life and fight disease, or the trendiest haute cuisine that has everyone swooning but leaves you scratching your head; no matter how many times and ways you try it, you just can’t see what the fuss is about.
For me, it’s always been the avocado. There. I said it.
For years I’ve tried to develop an appreciation for this wonderfruit, loaded with lots of good fats, potassium and vitamin E. I just couldn’t get past the mushy texture and bland, neither-here-nor-there flavour. Until now.
A few weeks back, we were enjoying some cocktails at our neighbours’ house when they served this fabulous salsa. I can guarantee that even the most ardent avocado-haters in your house will be forced to reconsider their positions.
