Trying to find low cal tasty recipes, this is a great one! I do slice the avocados on top when serving to keep them fresh. And the flavors in this are even better the next day, so make alot because it goes fast. 4-25-09 I make this quite often now, and have given the recipe to all my friends and family.

I make this recipe with a head of romaine lettuce, and every time - I get asked for a copy of the recipe - without fail. It is delicious and has become a go to recipe for me. I make it all the time. Yummy!

Yummy! I really like the lime in this. I added extra avocado - you just can't have enough avocado!

So happy to find this here! Don't know where my copy is and I need it. I LOVE this salad! I like to use multi-colored bell peppers and red onions. I add the avocados at serving time so they stay nicer looking. It is BEAUTIFUL. I got it from a friend and it was out of a cookbook called "That All May Be Fed" or some other earthy-type title (probably vegan). It is great if you have really good corn-on-the-cob but I have been using a frozen corn called super-sweet white and it is also good, especially when you cook massive quantities like I usually do.
