Great salad! I used avocado in the dressing instead of yogurt. It turned out very thick, so I just sort of stirred it into each individual serving. I thought the dressing would be too citrusy, but once it was mixed in with the rest of the ingredients, it was just a delight! Great salad, and I'll enjoy it often. Thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR tag game.
