    Potato Salad with Avocado DressingPin

    This Potato Salad with Avocado Dressing began as a simple lunch idea, and turned into something wonderful. The secret to this salad is the avocado dressing that is used instead of the typical mayonnaise. This gives the potato salad not only it's creamy, silken texture, but it also adds a twist to the flavor, as compared to traditional potato salad.

    I knew I wanted to add some red onion for texture, but beyond that, I just kept reaching for things in the kitchen that I needed to use up! I found grape tomatoes, cilantro, limes and some ripe avocados in the fruit bowl, so, in the potato salad they went. This is one of the best potato salads that I've ever had. Buen provecho!

      It sounds so much better than mayonnaise and you get all the health benefits too from the avocado. I have bookmarked it and hope to make it soon.
