Got this recipe from my Pinterest board from House of Nash Eats. This is amazing! I wait until the last minute to add the romaine lettuce and avocado, but often make the salad the day before, so meal time is super fast. I often take this as a side dish when I take my real estate clients their meal and always get asked for the recipe. It’s a keeper!
