I spiced up the avocado/yogurt mixture with creole seasoning. I didn't really measure the vegetables as I cut them up and I went a little overboard, thus ending up short of dressing. So measure things and enjoy this the way it was meant to be made.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am new to this site and pretty new to cooking, (heating up I have done successfully for quite some time now). I always say that I can boil toast and burn water with the best of them. I am looking for good, quick low fat/calorie recipes. I figure if I am learning to cook I might as well learn to do it right the first time.
