California Avocado Salad

This recipe is a 2012 California Avocado "All American Recipe Contest" Grand Prize Winner!

This salad is a wonderful side for an outdoor dinner party made with delicious California Avocados.  Taking advantage of a wide variety of in-season produce is a great way to follow the USDA's MyPlate recommendation to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables.  Avocados are a nutrient-dense fruit and one-fifth of a medium avocado (1 ounce) has 50 calories.
