The Benefit of this dish is that you get to be fancy and make something deconstructed. IE, a new form form of an old favorite. Love avocados and eat about 1/2-1 a day. It's 'Good Fat' but just so good. I could probably dedicate an entire blog to just avocados (So be prepared to see them in the spotlight several times). This is more of a salad using avocados, fresh Radish and Spring flavors.
I Love Fresh Radishes. Here we are still in the middle of Winter in Colorado but I can already see these as my first Spring Crops. They are so fast to grow that I am already excited to have them be one of the first crops put into my Spring Garden. They are a nice pair with the mellow creaminess of avocados in this recipe.
Definitely a great salad to go with a full meal. Light and flavorful it will tease the taste buds but not be too filling.
