Avocado is one of our favorite foods and finds its way onto our plate just about daily. We love combining fresh avocado as pairing to our breakfast, dinners and appetizers.
Today we’d like to share a typical Colombian dish that Henry grew up with: Ensalada de Agucate y Tomate
Traditional Ingredients to make this ultra delicious salad: (this serves 3)
- 2 vine ripe tomatoes (de-seed)
- 3 large perfectly ripe Haas avocados, cut in half and peel carefully with a sharp knife and cut into larger slices
- 1 green onion (thinly sliced)
- 1.5 tbsp olive oil
- pinch of sea salt to taste
- juice of 1 large lime
- 1 tbsp cilantro, very finely chopped
Mix carefully and chill for 30 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy with your favorite protein!
Happy Cooking – Jo and Henry

[…] Another versatile food to eat is the heart-healthy avocado! It offers the right amount of fats, improves cholesterol levels, and has enough carbs to keep you feeling full. You may think it’s a vegetable, but it’s technically a fruit. It goes great paired with strawberries or as a topper for toast. Cooking with avocado is a breeze. Plan to make pasta, guacamole, salads, and sandwiches with it. The only downfall to eating avocado is the painful wait for them to ripen. Worry not – placing avocados in a brown paper bag can speed up the process. Try this fabulous salad! […]
