Avocadoes Cuban Style (Or where I drag out a really short recipe for all eternity)

Have you ever eaten something at a restaurant and loved it.. obsessively.. knew it in your heart it was easy to make.. if only, if only, you could discover the secret of its tastiness?

Then you know how this recipe came to me.. the tears, the anguish, the serious sacrifice of eating it over and over at my favorite So-Cal Cuban restaurant...

It was called Avocada Ensalada at the restaurant. That seemed misleading to me..it was a dessert relationship, the two of us.. plus, I totally did not want to get busted, and banned from getting there again..you know, embargoes and all. That would be a bad,bad break-up.

They served it with this delish Cuban flatbread that I cannot locate in Tejas.. so I serve it with tortilla chips, straight with a fork or tortillas...

I am going to warn you now that this could become an unhealthy relationship in a hurry. If this were a boy, he'd drive a motorcycle and wear black leather. Your momma would be checking his tattoos for spelling, and your daddy would clean his gun. But like any bad- relationship- turned- country-song, you wouldn't care.. 'cause it's that good.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin'.

Here is what you need:

3 Avocados, peeled & diced (bigger sort of uneven chunks are best)
9 juicy limes
1/2 red onion, sliced in thin strips
Olive oil
salt
pepper
sugar

Seems very simple, right. Yeah, that boy seems simple,too but he's h-e-double-hockey-sticks-on wheels.. so buckle up.

(what am I talking about? I have got to quit taking Benadryl and watching days of our lives at night)

Ok, slice up your avocado and onion. Put in serving bowl.

Get separate bowl.
Squeeze your limes. You want about 1/4 of a cup of juice. DO NOT use that plastic green lime juice thing. Ick. This is not a cheap fling.

Pour into bowl. Add slightly less than 1/4 of a cup Olive Oil. (See, just a little less olive oil than juice)

Start with 1 Tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon each salt & pepper. Stir until dissolved. Taste. Add more salt, pepper, sugar or lime for your taste.

( I am sorry that this is not more scientific. Love just doesn't come in a formula, you know.)

Pour dressing over avocados and onion. Chill for at least 1 hour. Stir and serve.
