Avocado Salad– an equally beautiful and delicious treat to welcome the hot summer weather, perfect to serve as a side or as a light dinner meal that’s healthy and easy!
Avocados: very easily one of my favorite foods, and very hard to pass up when I catch them 4/$1.00 at my local supermarket.
That in itself is a bargain! So much, in fact, I usually load up the bag and haul myself to the checkout. Avocados are my favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner meal – thankfully they are also great for your body, too!
When paired with tomatoes in this beautiful salad, avocados take on a new dimension of flavor.
