Layered Mexican Salad image

This is a delightful salad and the dressing is made with an avocado base, sour cream, green chilies, milk and minced garlic. It adds a zesty flavor without being too spicy for those who don't care for overpowering spicy taste. Cooking time is the chill time (2-24 hours)
