Avocado Salad

Recipe #302990 | 15 min | 15 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Laffer

This salad was adapted from a recipe from Company's Coming. The avocado is the star but it mixes nicely with the vegetables and beans. Cut and add the avocado in just before you serve it so that it doesn't turn dark. The last 7 ingredients are the dressing.
