Very enjoyable salad, even if I did leave the avocado on the side for my other half to eat! He loves 'em ~ I don't! Other than that, though, I followed your recipe & was very happy with your wonderful salad! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Lovely light summer meal - I subbed baby cos lettuce and doubled the avocado - really enjoyable.

This was a nice change of pace for a spinach salad, and my family especially loved the addition of avocado. I really wanted to adore the dressing based on other reviews, but as it turned out we only liked it. I think we are just more vinaigrette people; for a creamy dressing this is good.
