Default Conch and Avocado Salad

2 conchs
2 avocados
1 medium onions
1/2 bell pepper
3 key limes for juice (bottled key lime juice will work)
1 clove gharlic
1tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup olive oil
1 T. vinegar
1tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. curry powder
pepper to taste
old sour to tase
Dice up conch. Dice onion, and bell pepper very fine. Place in bowl. Cover with oil, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, curry powder, and old sour. Mix well and place in refrigerator for 1 to 4 days (the longer the better; the lime juice cooks the conch over time making it very tender). When ready to serve heap into the 2 halved avocados and serve very cold as appetizer or salad.

They use old sour in certain drinks, and in some recipes. I am not sure what is in it, but it is deffinently sour!

I get my conch in Islamorada. I am not sure if they have a web site, but we just call them place an order and it is here next day. I don't pound the conch. The best thing to do is to just dice it up, and let it sit in the frige for 4 days. The citric acid from the lime juice actually cooks the conch, and it becomes more tender then a filet mingon!
