What a wonderful salad. I enjoyed all the flavors and textures very much. Everything blended beautifully together to create a remarkable treat. I used french shallots, sweet red onions, ripe avocado and romaine lettuce, with my bbq chicken, so good. Thanks so much for sharing your stolen recipe. :) Updated: This salad is so good, I made it again, this time using a beautiful ripe yellow mango. Next time I will make it using both the avocado and the mango for a truly decadent treat. This is a wonderful recipe that I have added to my keeper box. It is so delicious, light and refreshing. I love the ease in making the dressing, so simple, so delicious. The best luncheon on these long hot summer days.
