So i made this dressing tonight. Too much lemon imo, it was way too sour. I would consider this to be more of a dip. I ended up putting in the whole avocado and it was similiar to guacamole. Will probally use the rest of it as a veggie dip so that I'm not wasting any food. I might use an Orange - 8/27/12

I had only ever steamed shrimp before, but will saute again as a flavorful alternative. Shrimp were wet from preparation, so I sprinkled paprika on them and sprayed the pan with oil. Added Old Bay and the whole avocado; used spinach. 1/3 of dressing was enough for the entire salad. Good flavors. - 7/31/12
