Yummy! How can anything with avocado be bad? I loved the tart creaminess of the dressing. I'm making more tomorrow.

Oh, yum! With lime, cilantro and avocado I suspected it would be good, and I wasn't disappointed! I halved the recipe and wished I hadn't! I used shallots in place of the onions. What a wonderful combination of flavors, thank you! I think I'll try adding hard-boiled egg the next time I make this.
