Using avocado as a salad dressing?

[Legerity]

The past couple of days I've had some guacamole and mixed it into my salad as a dressing and it was delicious. I'm curious how you all incorporate avocado into your salads. Do you put it in chunks? Mash it up? What else to you mix in with it?

Thanks!

My fav salad is cucumber, tomato, onion, orange, yellow, and red bell peppers, celery, diced avocado, diced cilantro and parsley. For dressing I do lemon juice with a dash of sea salt. When I stir it around the avocado blends with the lemon juice and sea salt for a wonderful flavor.

I also do a spinach salad with baby spinach, diced avocado, red bell peppers, mushrooms, onion. I again use lemon juice and sea salt for the dressing but you could add a little olive oil. I mix it all together and put in the fridge for about 1/2 hr to marinate and soften the spinach a little. Its delish!! Enjoy!!

I haven't done this for some time, but when I made homemade salsa it was really good, put anything and everything you like in your salsa and I had an idea as far as your salad & guacamole goes... Mix the guac & salsa if you like ( sounds great to me anyhow ) and mix into the salad greens lettuce and tomatoes or whatever you like together. It's kind of like a mexican taste to it. Also, if you like mexican spices or anything else with the salsa put those in it! :) Sounds yummy to me..:p

Anyway to eat an avocado is good! I make a variety of dressings with avocado blended in them. One I especially like because you don't need oil, is to blend a peeled chopped cucumber with fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and anything else I feel like. Blend until smooth, then toss in the avocado and blend a little more. Makes a good soup, too.

Just yesterday I mashed up 1/2 an avocado, added some apple cider vinegar, sea salt, pepper, fresh garlic, and some extra virgin olive oil to make my salad dressing, and made a very simple salad out of romaine and radicchio. Sometimes I just add chopped avocado to my salad by I wanted to try something different. It was delicious!
