Ok, so I love everything about Gena Knox...her use of all fresh ingredients, her quick and easy gourmet dinner and appetizer recipes, and her simplistic approach to a fabulous and elegant menu :) (I even love her fun website!) I was actually thumbing around on it yesterday (in between work craziness) and stumbled upon this FUN recipe below. I looked at the ingredients and realized I already had almost everything and just needed to pick up the strawberries and avocado. So, tonight I gave it a try and boy am I glad I did! This was so easy to make and the flavors worked so well together...I had to share!! This would be perfect for a summer dinner party or just a simple week night treat. I even think the salsa alone would be delicious with just pita chips! Enjoy :)
