Recipe Introduction

This salad recipe is very easy to make and even persons who usually don't eat "healthy", will love it. For an exotic touch you can add some sliced oranges. Another variation is to use twice the amount of avocado and use it for the dressing as well as (in little pieces) as the salad.
