I love champagne vinegar and keep it on hand for just the reason you stated. I adore spring greens and avocado - two of my faves, too. But that dressing is sensational, Jim - so creamy and loaded with lovely flavor components. Complex and yet subtle paired with the verdant zip of serranos and the desired heat of the serranos. I am impressed. Again. Moving to my short list because I am so in the mood for something like this. Thanks, m'dear! ~Vickie
