Yum! I just told my wife about this and she is in love. I guess I’ll be making this for her very soon. Even though I’m kind of a vegi-phobe, I’ll try it as well. Thanks for the recipe. I have bookmarked your site and subscribed by RSS.

What an excellent blog. I particularly love the salads and the variety of your recipes. Jicama? Vietnamese fish sauce? Both are stuff I use all the time. I hardly ever see them featured in cooking blogs and most especially in diet and food blogs. I’m subscribing. Thanks.

Calories in Avocado
Nice recipe but are you sure about the calorie content because there seems to be some commotion about the amount of calories in avocado.
