Hi kalpana , i was just looking for some Avocado Salads and all your three posts on Avocado Salads came in handy … Avocados and Bananas are the best source for Potassium and they are great nutrient in one’s diet to prevent Heart Attack and Stroke i recently discovered …ty so much
I hope you like avocado served this way. Thank you for the nutritional facts of avocado and banana!
Dear Kalpana
As promised after reading the blog posting with the avocado and cherry tomato salad last week, I followed through and made it. The first time was on Sunday ( mother’s day) and I did it again today! It’s my favorite salad now for sure. I made a couple of very slight modifications. Added yellow cherry tomatoes and basil instead of cilantro. As you can see William can’t wait to tuck in:) Dinner alfresco tonight.
See you guys tomorrow around 8pm.
Much love
Stella
I love avocado and tomatoes. The salad looks absolutely delicious!
Will try it.
Thanks
It’s super easy to make Basanthi. Try it with the good balsamic vinegars you bought.
Your Avocado Salad with Cherry Tomatoes simply looks stunning as well as delicious. I will definitely make it since I like them both. Thanks for the easy and lovely recipe.
I hope you like it Devi.
Lovely. I’ll make it this weekend. Thanks.
Let me know how it turns out.
Looks absolutely delicious! I do eat avocado, and cherry tomatoes every day, but I haven’t tried this exact combo, I will now! Thank you!
I hope you gave this avocado salad a try. Please let me know how you liked it!
I almost did. I exchanged the red onions, that I didn’t have for garlic sprouts. The salad was delicious, and I’ve made it several times 🙂 Thank you! I am sure I will be making it a lot more in a few weeks, when my cherry tomatoes a ripe. How is your vegetables doing?
Oh how cool! I’ll have to try this salad again with garlic sprouts – what are garlic sprouts?
My veggie patch is finally putting on some growth. We have had mild temps – 60s and 70s, but the last week we got some 8os and I see the veggie seedlings right away got bigger and are setting flowers. Thanks for asking 😊
I actually decided to make the salad again, after your comment the other day. When you plant garlic cloves in soil, it takes a long time to get a whole garlic, but meanwhile the green spouts (looks like grass,) that comes up within a few days is delicious. I cut it off and use it in salads, dressings, soups, and stews. It just keeps coming. I like that at least as much as I like the actual garlic. Try planting some garlic cloves in a container, and you can try it yourself within a week. They like to be in the sun.
How exciting with your garden!! You’re going to have your own veggies very soon 🙂
Thanks for the info on garlic sprouts. I will give growing garlic in a pot – I love growing plants in pots!! All my family and friends know I have a pot addiction (not canibas 😀 but plant pots).
Wonderful 😊 please keep me posted 😊 I love container gardening.
