This is a great new dish for those of us who low-carb it. (Monotony being the problem with a low-carb plan). I made it per recipe directions - I didn't have lime juice on hand and so I used lemon juice instead. Even my DH liked it! I looked up carb values for the tomatoes and avocado - it looks like this salad has about 8-9 grams of carb per serving. I'll be making this again and again. Thanks for posting!

I just (finally!) finished a Ph.D. in poetry-writing, literature, and rhetoric. Love: murder mysteries, travel, old cookbooks, NYT crossword puzzles, black and white movies, autumn leaves, quantum physics, old fiestaware, dinner parties, Belgian and Czech beer, any form of cheese (except fat-free!), a spot of fine whisky, being by myself in any foreign country.
