Pea And Avocado Salad Reviews

• I wasnt a fan of this recipe at all. There were too many things going, too many flavors or something. I wont make it again, but if youre going to try it, maybe use less onion.It was a pretty side dish though

• I made this without the shrimp, varying the amounts of listed ingredients. Wonderful taste and color

• I can see this served at a summer luncheon. I omitted the mayonnaise, mostly because I forgot it, but honestly, I dont think it is needed. I also substituted diced red pepper in place of the black olives to give it some color contrast. The biggest surprise to me was the peas. I wasnt sure how well I would like them, but they are a nice addition. This will be added to my summer repertoire. Thanks for sharing

• I love to make this for dinner its easy and quick, this is one of our favorites . I did make it with plain yogurt and its very good.

• This was good. I used red peppers instead of the olives and halved the mayonnaise. Ultimately, Im not sure all the additions add much, if anything, to the avocado.

• Made this as a side dish for ribs and chicken. Other than omitting the shrimp I followed the recipe and was very happy with the result. Will be making it again.
