Sure was delicious! I think this a wonderful idea to do something different with an avocado instead of the same old boring guac.
This was so good! I love the addition of feta.
These were fantastic! Makes for a nice lite, fresh lunch. I added chopped scallions but other than that I followed the directions as written and it was perfect! Thank you Sally!
Delicious, easy and healthy! I made these for a recent gathering and they were a huge hit! I added a drizzle of balsamic glaze to each one before serving.
Very good. I’m always looking for something different, healthy and quick for lunch. Tasted great!
