WOW. this has to be the embodiment of summer. The crisp fresh crunch of the celery, the tang of the lemon, the nip id the Tabasco all playing against the rich, creamy smoothness of the avocado. Perfection. I used low fat mayo and passed on the dill. I chose the shrimp option and cut them into about the same size as the 'cado chunks. Sorry but I have to cut this review off now because I have to get to the store for more avocado's!! Made for Photo Tag.1Reply
