Great dressing and good solid recipe! I served this as a build your own salad, and my kids enjoyed creating their own versions. Wonderful way to get my kids interested in trying to new things, and eating more salad!

This was delicious. I didn't have avocado, so I left it out and subbed in balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar.

Since I didn't have a rectangular platter like the one shown, I used an oval platter. It looks so pretty and is a perfect summer meal.
