Easy Recipe: Gouda and Avocado Salad

i saw this recipe today and i had to have it 
i had all the ingredients already in my fridge
it was a match made in heaven
kinda
in truth, i had all the ingredients to make the lazy easy version

i didn't want to make the dressing 
and the dressing looked kinda like caeser to me
but what do i know? i have no clue what's in caesar dressing
either way, i decided to use some lite caesar dressing i already had
i also added some tomatoes, because who doesn't like tomatoes?

ingredients

  • romaine lettuce
  • smoked gouda 
  • 1/2 of the worlds smallest avocado 
  • 1 roma tomato
  • caesar dressing
lets get real for a second. 
lets talk about this avocado. 
really?!?!? 
maybe i'm spoiled, being from california
but come on! 
you should also know that i have freakishly small baby hands

so while it fills my palm, that doesn't mean nothing
anyways

instructions

combine into salad form: wash and cut lettuce, cube gouda, slice the worlds smallest avocado, slice the tomato, drizzle with dressing. eat.







easy peasy lemon squeezy! 
size of the avocado aside, this salad was bomb.com
loved the flavor combo 
perfect for a night of packing and harry potter watching 

what do you do with your gouda? 
if its something with fruit, i don't wanna hear about it 
ok fine, i want to hear about it, but i won't make it 
i think i missed the fruit+savory gene when god was handing it out
but i'd love to hear any gouda suggestions!

Yum yum yum! This looks so good. Avocado and cheese are practically my soul mates. And that SNL skit is probably my favorite EVER!
