    Grilled avocado and gem salad topped with herb yogurt dressing with spoons.

    This one is for all you avocado lovers! Grilling the avocados gives them a nice smoky flavor that I love. Pairing that with the crisp lettuce and the creamy dressing – we are hitting all the notes with this one! This little salad is the perfect dish to get the ball rolling for the grilling season that is coming up. I hope you guys love this one! ♥ Teri
