That sounds so yummy! I can't believe you don't like avocados, though. I will have to try that this summer.
Your family reunion looks like it was so fun too! Your nieces and nephews are beautiful. Lucky Pulley genes. : )
Kim! I just made this salad and it was super yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Kim, that looks yummy! I think I'll ditch the radishes too..... but I found a love for the good old avacado while living in LA ...... I miss you. I have to see you in August!
