Asparagus, Green Bean and Avocado Salad
Make on Fresco
I first encountered this idea when I attended a Pro Blogger conference way back when on the Gold Coast. They knew they were feeding people who were social media crazy and a lot of us were foodies of course, so the food was pretty amazing, given they were feeding over 700 fussy peeps. Anyway, this salad arrived one lunchtime (or a version of it) and I thought, I can do that...and here it is.
I love that you can make more or less depending on the occasion. Everyone loves it, and you look like a superstar.
Enjoy!
