GRILLED CALIFORNIA AVOCADO SALAD
Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large Haas avocado averages about 8 oz (here in Miami - our avocados have a tendency to be a bit larger). Adjust the the quantity accordingly. This is easy, tastes great, & has that WOW factor! It is an elegant first course that combines with baby greens, a spicy salsa and a delicious herbed goat cheese. Provided by the California Commission with a couple of tweaks.
