Stack seven layers of California Avocadoes and chopped or shredded fruit and veggies in a clear glass jar for a beautiful presentation.
Yield: 4 servings
* As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
** You can make the dressing sweeter or more tart to your liking depending on which citrus juice you use.
Serving Suggestions: Gently invert sealed jars a couple of times to coat the salad with dressing.
Serve with long forks or chopsticks.
Tossed salad variation: Toss salad ingredients with dressing and serve in Mason jars.
Individual snack salad variation: Place California Avocados and a small amount of dressing at the bottom of a small glass jar. Top with your favorite salad ingredients and seal with the jar lid until snack time, then gently shake and enjoy.
Beverage Pairing: Prosecco wine or sparkling water with lime.
