I can't get enough of avocados! I would put them on everything! For a story yesterday I paid a visit to Chef Carrie Hamilton's house, where she made a cool summer salad as a way for WLIO viewers to avoid all cooking on the hottest day of the year. I told her she couldn't use a stove, oven or grill, but the meal still had to be satisfying.
She came up with one of the best salads I've ever had... that may be in part to the great avocado dressing that put the taste of one of my favorite green foods into every bite. And it was simple! Check out the recipe below!
