I’m very disappointed the recipe for the ‘avocado dressing’ is not included.
Even though it’s named in the title of thus salad only ingredients, & method, listed are fir the spiced pumpkin seeds🤷♀️☹️

When I click on this recipe, the site shows a picture of the Boston Lettuce Salad with Avocado Dressing, but the recipe below the picture is for Spiced up pumpkin seeds. Looking for the avocado dressing recipe, am I missing something?

where is the recipe for the avocado dressing ? There is only the recipe for the spiced up pumpkin seeds. No dressing for the Boston lettuce salad with avocado dressing. Thanks.
