Yum! I just told my wife about this and she is in love. I guess I’ll be making this for her very soon. Even though I’m kind of a vegi-phobe, I’ll try it as well. Thanks for the recipe. I have bookmarked your site and subscribed by RSS.
mmmmm…this is definitely yummy…
What an excellent blog. I particularly love the salads and the variety of your recipes. Jicama? Vietnamese fish sauce? Both are stuff I use all the time. I hardly ever see them featured in cooking blogs and most especially in diet and food blogs. I’m subscribing. Thanks.
i would love to go on a diet if it means eating food like this everyday *grins*.
That looks mighty tasty. I think I will have to try them myself also. Thanks

Soyun.
Nice recipe but are you sure about the calorie content because there seems to be some commotion about the amount of calories in avocado.

YUM!! My naturopathic dr. told me I should eat 2 avacados a month… I now know a yummy way to do that!
