"Source for this recipe is from an old Country Inns of America Cookbook. For avocado lovers, this will be a delight. The dressing pares very well with the avocado. Note that there may be left-over dressing that can be used on other types of salads. In particular it goes well with a wedge salad. Note that the calories noted are for the full measure of the dressing which isn't used in one sitting, therefore it is incorrect."

I'm a big avocado fan! I really loved the creaminess that the yogurt added to the dressing. I guessed at the amount of red wine vinegar to suit my taste, and was happy with the result. I did let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, and thought the flavors blended nicely. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag game!
