I first had this salad at a restaurant in California, and I was immediately hooked. The avocado was so creamy and the herbs were so bright and flavorful. I asked the chef for the recipe, and he was kind enough to share it with me. I've been making this salad ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
