Caviar on a Beer Budget


At the request of some readers, here is one of my weekend projects. This recipe was shared with me by an Auburn friend, and it became a regular at our AU tailgates. It is so easy that I can usually recall the ingredients at the store if I decide there to make it. The nice thing is that besides being relatively inexpensive (except for the avocadoes), the avocadoes will not darken even after days of being combined due to the lime juice and dressing. Every morsel will be scarfed up... promise! You will win them over for sure. Your lactose intolerant guests will appreciate the fact that there is no cheese in it. Post any results... loving the feedback!
