This was very good. I have made a similiar dish with no avocado with a balsamic based dressing. This helped me use up some fresh cilantro and avocados that the neighborhood kids were selling. I couldn't pass up buy some at .50 each. ;) -
Perfect summer salad. I love salads like this! So colorful, light and refreshing. The cilantro really adds a nice fresh flavor. My cherry tomato plants are producing like crazy, so I was happy to find this salad recipe. Thanx for posting this in the Recipe Request Forum! It's a keeper! -
This was a tasty salad with no additional dressing needed. I made a reduced amount and served with recipe #222927 for a quick lunch. Thanks Tish for sharing your recipe. I will use it again! :-)

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
