If you come to the Dominican Republic without knowing a thing about our cuisine–and the same thing could be said for most of Latin America–you may be inclined to think that our cuisine is similar to Mexico’s. This is something I’ve seen many times.

And nothing could be further from the truth.

No, we don’t eat guacamole, but we love LOVE avocados. I may have even shown up to a Dominican restaurant with an aguacate de emergencia, in case they don’t have any. Seriously.

Typically we serve our avocados in chunks or slices with our meals, but if you’re feeling like serving it a bit more refined, this colorful avocado salad will do it.
