Guava Vinaigrette
Amazing!
The guava is a fruit that has its
origin in Mesoamerica. There are reports from the first Spaniards, that settled in Mexico, in which is mentioned that the guava was already used, mainly for healing purposes. And it was the Spaniards who introduced it in Europe and Asia.
When the guavas ripe they exhale a deep aroma that makes them very appetizing. They are used in
desserts and candies, but in this recipe it will be used to fill a vinaigrette with an amazing flavor since
it has sweet, acidic and citrus notes. But that’s not all because the other ingredients that enter to complement the preparation, make of the guava vinaigrette a delight.
This vinaigrette is ideal for using in any
salad but its best application is on vegetables that are lightly roasted or fried. Although their applications don’t end up here because it can also be used to season a lobster.
