    So DELICIOUS! I used Butter lettuce, and the delicate leaves of the lettuce really complimented the avocado. A definite keeper :) - 4/11/12

    So delicious! I didn't have red onion but some green onions were fine instead. Diced cucumber added as well. Cheated with prepared grapefruit segments because, again, that's what I had on hand. - 6/23/15

    Was a wee bit hesitate on trying this but glad i did so. i use a mix of baby greens and threw in some raisins because i really love raisins. Came across this in the avocado recipes listed in a challenge. Nice surprise! - 3/15/18
