I'm allergic to avocado, so I can't try this salad. :(

I'm not sure about this recipe. I've never had avocado in a salad before.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory dressing.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this salad. I'm not usually a fan of avocado, but the combination of flavors in this salad was really nice. I'll definitely be making it again.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavors are amazing. I love the contrast between the creamy avocado and the sweet onion. The dressing is also perfect - it's light and tangy, but not overpower
