14 days of Aphrodisiac Dishes -#12 Avocado-Cherry Salad
Avocados are high in vitamins A and C, niacin and minerals, including phosphorus and potassium.
I love Nahuatl, I do NOT know how to speak it, but I have a few friends, back in Mexico, that know how to. Avocado comes from the Nahuatl word “ahuacatl” which means testicle. They were known by my ancestors, the Aztecs, as “the fertility fruit”.
Today’s ingredients are:
I almost forget, we also need olive oil, about one tablespoon.
Cut the cherries into halves and core them.
Finely chop the basil.
We need about 1/4 cup.
Place the basil in a bowl and add the lime juice.
Add the vinegar.
Then the olive Oil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Whisk.
Add the cherries.
Cut the avocados in half, lengthwise and twist to split the two halves.
Cube the avocados and carefully fold them in with the cherry-vinegar mix. If your avacados are too soft, you might want to drizzle them with the cherry-vinegar mix instead of folding them in.
We are done.
Buen provecho!
