AVOCADO AND SPICY GREENS WITH A PISTACHIO OIL VINAIGRETTE

Avocado and Spicy Greens with a Pistachio Oil Vinaigrette image

This is another simple salad that I really enjoy whenever avocados are at their peak. I'm a firm believer that the only avocado to buy is the Haas variety! Pistachio oil is a darker, denser oil with a deep flavor.

MY FAVORITE AVOCADO SALAD

My Favorite Avocado Salad image

Tangy lime dressing is the perfect topper for this avocado salad. Toasted walnuts make for crunchy goodness, but try it with any kind of nut you like. -Ilia Kaku, North Richland Hills, Texas
