Quick Zesty Avocado Salad
You are right, this Quick Zesty Avocado Salad is reminiscent of guacamole. I don’t deny it. Furthermore, I will freely confess my love for guacamole and each of its individual ingredients. However, this fresh and zesty salad of creamy avocado tossed with cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and a tangy lime juice dressing is a delicious alternative.
