This is a dish I got from a Costco cookbook. Very tasty and colorful, nice as a lunch with some good crusty bread, or as a side dish for a potluck or buffet. Cook time is chilling time; longer is fine, to let flavors meld, but don't serve it icy cold.

This sounds wonderful! Thanks! I love avocados and all of the other ingredients in it. I bet shrimp or chicken would be good in it too.
