Great summer side dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this a few times. It is very colorful salad and has a wonderful flavor. Recently I made it and added some corn... and cucumbers to it. I also cooked some rotini pasta and cooled it off and tossed the guacamole salad with the pasta for a nice pasta salad. Makes a great lunch to take to work with me!Read more

The BEST Guacamole Salad Ever!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made it for the first time today. I was having one of my closest friends over for lunch and thought I'd try this salad... since she loves avocados...it was a hit!!! I left out the jalapeno peppers as I do not like "heat" like that, but it was still super delicious!!!! I will be making more often!!!! My friend wanted the recipe as well!!!! Great job Ina!!!!!!!Read more

Colorful, allows for more creativity
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Like another, I felt this lacked something. Although tasty and pretty to look at, iIt seemed to have a bitter backnote from... something or another. I don't know if it was b/c of too much salt? Whatever, I also felt this basic recipe would take well to the addition of chopped fresh cilantro and yellow corn for taste and color . A good way to use up odd and ends in the fridge, as I did by making this one! Read more
