This month’s theme for The Salad Bar is avocado. I love avocado, so it was just a matter of coming up with what I was in the mood to do with it. I used avocado in two ways in this salad. First, it is tossed in with the greens, and then in is in the delightfully creamy dressing. I made it for two, but it could certainly be doubled, etc. for more, and I had a little dressing leftover. The vegetables in the salad were green leaf lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and banana peppers, but you could change these to your likings or what you have on hand. We are currently overrun with both tomatoes and banana peppers from our garden, so they were an obvious choice for me. This salad was awesome, and I certainly hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

That dressing sounds great! I’ve never been a fan of avocados until a few months ago when I tried guacamole on a whim. Now I can’t get enough!
