Avocado Summer Salad


I absolutely love spicy food but sometimes I am in the mood for something mild. For those hot summer days you don't need the extra spice this is a perfect salad. This also makes a great lunch on the go but only if you can keep it cool.
Leaf Chicory is also known as Belgian or French Endive. If you can't find it you can use radiccio instead.
