If you’ve traveled to Spain or maybe even lived there, then surely you’ve tried, or at least heard of Salmorejo. Salmorejo is a traditional Spanish dish great for the summer. Usually made with tomatoes, bread and garlic.However, we’ve decided to put a healthier twist to this traditional Spanish dish. We’ve added in avocado! Yes, you read that correctly:avocado salmorejo! The avocado gives this dish such a pleasurable creamy and smooth texture. It goes great with the tomato and is much fresher and less fatty than bread. Besides that, it’s also very fulfilling. I decided to top this dish off with some beef jerky to give it a nice crunchy touch. Have you ever tried jerky before? It’s an ideal way to incorporate quality proteins into our dishes.
