La Comida Cubana

I have made many Spanish dishes, but I love Cuban recipes. My class project, in the fall semester of Stockton, I talked about the history of Cuban food, how the embargo affected the Cuban people, and I conducted a cooking segment, in Spanish, on a Cuban dish known as Avocado and Pineapple Salad. These are the ingredients and how to make the salad.
Avocado and Pineapple Salad
                                   Ingredients
·         8  cups  iceberg or other crisp lettuce
·         2  cups  fresh pineapple chunks
·         1  medium red onion, thinly sliced
·         1/3  cup  extra-virgin olive oil
·         1/3  cup  white vinegar
·         1/3  cup  fresh orange juice
·         1/4  cup  sugar
·         3/4  teaspoon  salt
·         1/2  teaspoon  pepper
·         2  medium avocados, sliced
·         Fresh lime wedges
Preparation
Toss together first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together oil and next 5 ingredients. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad mixture, and toss well. Spoon salad onto individual plates. Arrange avocado slices over salads; serve with lime wedges. Serve immediately.

This salad is tasty. I loved it, and my classmates loved it! Now, I have given all of you another example on how to make your cooking segments for your projects due next week. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this blog, or send me an email in private (so that no one will steal your ideas)!
