Write it down folks - this is good stuff! I was at work a few days ago and the president of our company brought in the ‘fixin’s’ for this salad and made it for everyone. I was in love…man was it good!

So, here we go with your list of ingredients:

• 3 Avocados, ripe and ready to eat
• 3 tomatoes
• 1 white sweet onion
• 1 can of black olives (sliced, or not, up to you!)
• 1 bottle of Italian dressing from Olive Garden (this is key, its fantastico)

The steps are important, because if done incorrectly, you might end up with Avocado dip, rather than Salad. So, when preparing the salad, you will need to do it in the following order:

1. Slice your white onion in very thin slices then cut them into bite sized pieces
2. Put your slices into a bowl of cold water and put it in the refrigerator
3. Cut the tomatoes up into bite sized pieces and place in a large bowl
4. Open the can of black olives and drain, then place them in the bowl
5. Drain the water from the onions and add them to the mix
6. Add the Salad Dressing to the mix of tomatoes, olives and onions - just enough to cover them
7. Stir
8. Peel and pit your avocados taking care not to mash them
9. Cut the peeled and pitted avocados into chunks
10. Add the avocados to the mix and lightly stir, coating the avocados in the dressing

This recipe is best served cold, in fact, the colder the better. Once you’ve cooled the salad down, you can serve it as a ‘dip’ with tortilla chips or as a side with your favorite main course.

I can’t wait for you to try it and tell me what you think! Have a recipe you think we should feature? Leave a comment.

It’s a great summer salad or a salad enjoyed in warmer climates, since it’s served ice cold.
