If you have been following my blog you know we have been busy house hunting. Well… We found the perfect house. It has pretty much everything we were looking for and a cute little yard with pool too. EEEK I am so excited! I have always wanted a pool!
I am also super excited to have a great place to entertain. Once I get back to entertaining one of the first things on the menu will be this Asparagus Avocado Tomato Salad.
It’s so fresh, delicious and easy to make! My only recommendation is if you are making this salad ahead of time, wait to add the avocado until just before serving so it doesn’t brown.
