Great Feedback
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very other bite came with "This is excellent!" It was a Cinco de Mayo hit. It's a fresh alternative the ever-present... guacamole and can be used on chips, as a side or on top of meat. The recipe does omit the fact that the avacados should be grilled; it takes only minutes and is absolutely worth doing.Read more

Excellent dish with many possibilities
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I love avacados. So I am always looking for new recipes. This one is a definite keeper. I made this the... other night as a side with grilled chicken and pasta. It was SO good. By itself or as a topping on the chicken, it is just a burst of flavor in the mouth. We did have some leftover (which was actually quite hard to believe). I ended up throwing it in a tupperware container with some of the leftover chicken and some salad greens. If anything, it was even better the next day. Just an excellent, excellent recipe!Read more
