Not very keen on the avocado taste or texture. The salad was tasty and VERY easy to make and QUICK

Hi Kirsty - sorry for the delay in replying to your question. I sometimes take the avocado out as well and I replace it with olives, sundried tomatoes, artichokes or fresh basil - they all taste as good and it obvioulsy the higher fat in the avocado. Let us know what you think! This is one of my favourite recipes.
