All the bold, vibrant colors in this dish make me so happy. I love trying recipes that are quick and easy to make, that are just bursting with flavor and it’s something you feel good eating. That basically sums up what this Thai avocado salad recipe is, actually. This would be a fantastic side salad or a light lunch, but if you want to amp it up into main dish category I’d recommend topping with a protein of sorts. We sautéed some fresh local shrimp and it was insanely good. Hectic weeknights meet a super fast dinner that’s ready in under 30 minutes!
