Great flavors, we especially liked the avocado. I used less salt and oil. I could see cucumber and dill working well in this too. Served 2 (as an entrée). -
I will definitely be making this again...so good. Don't skip the fresh lemon juice!

I cook at home, at friends' houses even at other people's parties! I'm not so good at baking, unless the instructions are explicit and 100% correct. I rarely deviate, it seems to me that baking is harder to get right. Give me a stovetop, gas or electric, a grill, a portable propane stove or even a campfire and I'll make your tastebuds soar!
