I used fresh, pitted dates, not dried dates. Not sure if there is some kind of chemical reaction between the dates and the avocado, but the filling did not turn brown. It was a nice vibrant green even after chilling for two hours. This is very good....a bit sweeter than most salads, but one I enjoyed very much. This would be wonderful to serve at a cookout....all lined up on a bed of ice in a cooler for people to grab and eat as they wanted to. I'm a big avocado fan, so this was a hit for me. I'll be sharing it with my friend, who is also an avocado lover! Thanks for sharing. Made for Photo Tag game.
