Loving the addition of a poblano pepper to this salad! If you haven’t tried these beauties yet, this is a great recipe to give it a go! It is our new favorite veggie! If you remove the seeds and veins, which is where the heat lives, you are left with something that has just a slight kick. Like a jacked up green pepper.

Hi Patti – the dressing will help keep the avocado green but for the best freshest salad I’d assemble all and add the avocado last.
