Spinach and Alvacodo Salad

Spinach and Avocado Salad

---

Mel and I have a wonderful older neighbor who invites us over for dinners (like Thanksgiving meals) and sometimes when she feels like cooking a lot. (she is a wonderful cook)  We usually share some of our wine with her and I bring something to go along with her meal.

This past Friday, she invited us to share her pot roast meal. I made this salad to take as my contribution. So It was served with her delicious roast, potatoes and carrots, gravy and hot rolls.

 

 

 

 

 

My husband shared some Merlot wine with her and I tried out my first Dailys Frozen Bahama Mama iced drink.

This was a wonderful meal and the salad was perfect with just a small amount of ranch dressing I had to go with it.
