Go To Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad is a perfect example of a few good ingredients making a wonderful salad. This is my go to salad for many mexican... dinners. It is light and tangy and so easy to make. You can make it ahead of time and leave it to sit while you work on the rest of the meal.Read more

YUM-O SALAD!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

As a lover of avocados I always look for fresh ideas to revive my tastebuds. I made this for my mother one night and I had... gone to work and while at work, she left a message on my phone to let me know that she had purchased more ingredients so that I could make more when I returned home. I love this flavorful salad. I personally would add sliced black olives and cracked pepper. Enough Said.Read more

Three nights... in one week!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this salad knowing I would love but thinking my husband would hate it. Boy, was I wrong! He has asked for it three... times this week alone! The flavors work so well together - it's now a staple in our home and I can't wait to try it out at our next dinner party!Read more
