Now this is my kind of salad!! My daughter has just discovered salads and avo is top of her list. We're working arugula though.
Love how you cut the peas!! And once again, the colors are just leaping off the page and have me wanting to dive in!

Ooooh, it has sriracha in it. I love the flavor of that hot sauce more than others and can just imagine the pop it gives the salad, which, by the way, is absolutely stunning.
Hope you're managing to stay cool.

I would never have thought to put cucumbers and avocados together, but it would smell great, and the cucumbers would add a nice crunch.

I adore Thai inspired salads (and, funnily enough just happen to have the very same thing on my mind this evening ;-)). This is a gorgeous vinaigrette and I just love that last photo - full of light!
