This great Cuban salad blends the sweetness of pineapple with the sour flavor of oil and vinegar. The dressing should taste slightly; when applied to the salad, that extra saltiness is put to very good use.
Ingredients
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 cups fresh ripe pineapple chunks
1 medium red onion, sliced thin
1 large avocado, peeled and sliced
1-2 fresh limes
Technique
Combine olive oil, vinegar, orange juice, and sugar in a blender until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly toss the lettuce, pineapple, and red onion together, and pour on the dressing until everything is well coated. Adjust the amount to your preference, more or less.
Garnish individual salads with several avocado slices lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.
