My college classmate and I made your salad at a Wisconsin cabin–we loved the fresh taste, along with our cocktails and enchiladas. Thanks for this lovely recipe!

After randomly turning on the TV your episode for this recipe was on. We were having Carne asada tacos for dinner and since I had most of these ingredients (I used queso fresco instead of panela) it was a tasty change up to guacamole, so refreshing, delicious, and tangy! It was such a great compliment to the steak.Thank you Pati for the idea! Dios te bendiga.

A beautiful salad with a bright, surprising flavors. The creaminess of the avocado and cheese counter-point the jalapeño.

Easy, nutritional spring & summer salad. Very healthy. Do more of these lower fat, lower calorie dishes. Love the recipe that is different from how I use avocados. Make guacamole one in a while. Use avocados all the time.

Pati. I love your show. Your personality. But I’d not eat but 3% of what you cook. I don’t like hot…peppers…onions. I grew up in the ghetto of NY. Not that your food is bad. I’m not used to eating like that. Love your boys on the show. Juju loves to cook with mom. So cool
