avocado salad with yogurt dressing, how to make avocado salad recipe

by dassana amit updated March 17, 2014

avocado salad with yogurt dressing – a simple, light side dish for the summers, made with avocado and yogurt. i could have called this recipe an avoacado raita. but since i have actually made a dressing and used less amount of yogurt, i will call it avocado salad with yogurt dressing

now the yogurt dressing is lightly spiced. apart from avocado, i have also added onion, tomato and cucumber. the salad goes very well as a side dish with a vegetarian meal or appetizers.

what you get is a creamy salad with the smoothness of the avocado, crunch of the cucumber, onion, tomato and a hint of the indian spices.

whenever i buy avocado, i mostly end up making guacamole and the guacamole toast sandwich. sometimes i make a raita or just add the avocado to salads. and on some rare occasions an avocado milkshake.
