Avocado Mixed Greens Salad

There is very little in life more delicious than avocado. They are amazing in every form and in every dish, and this is no exception. Here the creamy avocado combines with crisp greens and a lemony olive oil dressing for tastiness in every bite.

I served the salad with cajun catfish and tomato bruschetta - two of my other favorites. The meal was quite simple and fast to put together, but absolutely delicious. Make this when you don't have a lot of time or energy, but still want a healthy, homemade meal.
