Avocado Salad
June 1, 2020 • Salads, Side Dishes
I’ve been eating a lot of avocados lately – partially because I just love them, but also because the man in my life grew up with Puerto Rican parents and avocados were ever present during his childhood in California. I created this avocado salad recipe for a Puerto Rican themed dinner I hosted back in early March – just a day before things shut down in Colorado thanks to COVID-19. Serve this rich salad with flank steak with chimichurri sauce like I did, with maybe some simple rice.

Michele, I’m going to make this with tiny shrimp on a bed of Boston lettuce. It looks fabulous! Thanks for another amazing recipe. Beautifully photographed, too.
