Avocado shells make handy vessels for a bright salad made with the scooped-out flesh. Lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of cayenne flavor the dressing. The salad can also be served as a topping for quesadillas or as a fresh filling for tacos.

Back to TopThis was a perfect end-of-summer salad with the last of my cherry tomatoes. It was a hit with everyone I served it to with no changes to the recipe.

这个真的很好吃,非常可爱。我used garlic powder, because I was out of garlic. Served with sliced baguette and a little tangy brie. Definitely have leftover avocado filling. I was eating it by the spoonful. So good.

我made this salad, exactly as the recipe states, for my family the other night and they all loved it. I wouldn't change a thing. This is a great salad and very healthy.

Tonight I am making this for the second time. It's delicious and my picky wife agrees. Can't wait to try it on our friends. Serving it in the avocado shells makes a nifty-looking looking salad.

我F you make the recipe Exactly as written, there wil be nothing left over. I made this for in-laws yesterday and they raved about it. The combination of flavor s and textures was delightful. My brother-in-law remarked that he normally did not care for avocado, but this recipe was delicious.

我've been making a salad very similar to this for years. I usually make it as a part of a holiday dinner for my three sons and their families - fourteen people all together. The only problem with this recipe is that your going to wind-up with a ton of left over avocado. Since your cubing the avocado, and adding all the other ingredients You'll run out of room in the avocado skins before you can use all the avocado. I suggest you try to use the leftover avocado in the main dish, or use it in an appetizer.
