Delish! We used precooked salad shrimp and chopped up the avocado (they were too small to stuff). Tarragon was omitted, because we didn't have any; otherwise followed the recipe...great flavor combo without the tarragon. Definitely a keeper!

Times 1000! Very, very, nice recipe! The only change I made was my dear avocado was so smushy, I decided to do what the previous reviewer did, stuff it, and let some of the tender avocado fall nicely within the salad leaves. I was ok with the amount of mustard, (I guess l love mustard!) and gave it a nice little kick - with the creaminess of the avocado. An exceptional recipe!

Yummy X 8. The only thing I might change is to add the Dijon mustard a little at a time; mine seemed a bit over-powering. (Might be right for you!) Had to slice my Avocado on a bed of lettuce--it was a wee over-ripe. Made for Tea-time and Light Suppers in Cooking Photos.
