Here’s a very quick and easy favorite of ours, The base avocado salad is very fresh, has a wonderful crunchy texture, and is very versatile… this recipe calls for shrimp, however the salad on its own with some crackers or chips makes great finger food for buffets, or an appetizer, with tuna or shrimp it makes an excellent lunch, but tonight it was actually a very satisfying dinner.
