We made a really good salad today that you have to try! At least as soon as the weather warms up in Canada again. :-)  It was adapted from two separate recipes, but I think they combine to make a wonderful dish!

Guacamole Salad with Spicy Avocado Dressing
adapted from Pink Parsley & Life's Ambrosia

Salad:
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 large yellow tomatoes, seeded and diced

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
