Serve this flavorful salad on a bed of greens for a complete meal. I like arugula with this dish, but feel free to use your favorite.

This has become a favorite “go to” salad that always impresses dinner guests.

Can't eat jalapenos or any hot peppers at all. What can I substitute to still give it some zing?

Very easy and delicious! I made some small changes/additions. I used 1/4 cup of lime juice (2 limes) and added diced red pepper for color and crunch. I also added agave syrup to taste. I served the salad and avocado on a bed of spinach.

Haven't really been a fan of avocado before but this really changed my mind. Didn't expect such a nice flavour and this recipe really won me over

Annie
