Loved it. Simple fresh flavors. Loved the jicama with the creamy avocado. I did use a red pepper, roma tomatoes (just because of less seeds), a seedless cucumber; but none of that changed the flavor of the dish at all. Butter lettuce worked great. I love the soft lettuce leaves, but iceberg would of worked fine. I just love how sweet butter lettuce is. The dressing was very nice. Nice time I may add just a touch of wine wine vinegar to the dressing, just to try it. Also, I did try pea shoots on a few. I had some left over I wanted to use up, they also work very well instead of alfalfa sprouts. They were a hit. Kim

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen. Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
