I just started my lifestyle change two weeks ago & wanted to bring something delicious AND good for your body for my whole family to have at Easter dinner. This was amazing and everyone loved it!! I didn't use the cayenne pepper so my kids would still eat it. I have some leftover and cooked up some whole wheat pasta & mixed it with a serving for a quick, delicious lunch!

2 tablespoons minced shallots, from one medium shallot

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
9 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, best quality such as Colavita

6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
2 Hass avocados, chopped

    That looks delicious. I'd leave the corn out though since I'm not a fan. Was it very sweet with that much sugar in it?

    Looks yummy...I make a similar salad with a little diced zucchini instead of avocado. (I got very sick on guacamole a few years ago....haven't been able to face avocados since!) I think I will make that today!

    No it wasn't, especially since this makes such a large recipe! I would probably leave it out next time though since I didn't feel like it added anything.
