What a nice alternative for those who do not like or cannot have seafood! The only caution is, this is not something that can be made too far ahead of time, the texture suffers. -
This made a nice light salad for lunch today. I actually marinated the avocado in the lime water for a few minutes too, to keep it green. Yum! Thanks!

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
