Excellent!!

Far too much fat in this recipe. In addition, 25 calories is not low for a salad. I wish I could eat raw onion, but I can't digest them. I'm not even supposed to eat oranges because of GERD. Is there any way to alter the amount of fat, especially the saturated fat unless that's the avocado?

It was very easy and pleasing. My only word of caution is to be sure you use enough lettuce or the salad dressing will soak your plate but my family really liked it!

The salad was excellent... But, yes to much fat.. Def. The avocado... But, so goooood! So when i know i'm gonna eat this i go fat free for the rest of the day... Def. Worth it.. To me anyway!
Enjoy.. Yumm

Avocados are high in calories but contain *good* fat and have high nutritional value. Look 'em up!

I love this salad. We probably make it once a week. I usually add some sugar to the dressing.

Yes avocados are high in monounsaturated fat but low in saturated fat. This type of fat actually lowers your cholesterol. The key is eating them in moderation so avoid another high fat food during the day.
