Very refreshing,I used frozen avocado cubes and chopped Roma tomatoes good for hot days

Delicious! I'd never thought of avocado with these flavors, but it was just delightful. A literal flavor-dance on my tongue.

What a nice discovery! I can see this appearing on our table all summer long! I served with a fresh melon and loved the meatless meal. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Linky like you I love Caprese salad and love avocados so figured I would give this a try and boy oh boy am I glad I did as it was yummy. I cut the recipe down to serve one and served with some warm fresh bread. Thanks so much for the post.
