3 pounds red potatoes
2 tablespoons plus 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 ripe avocado, peeled
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
Juice of 2 limes (about 1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 celery stalks, sliced

1. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add the 2 tablespoons of salt and bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes or until you can pierce them easily with a paring knife. Drain them in a colander and allow to cool.

2. Meanwhile, puree the avocado, lime zest and juice, garlic, cilantro, mayonnaise, and remaining salt in a food processor until smooth. If the dressing seems too thick, add a tablespoon or so of hot water.

3. Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks (leave the skins on) and place them in a large bowl with the celery. Scrape in the dressing with a rubber spatula and gently stir it all together. Serve immediately, or cover and chill. Serves 8 to 10.

This is almost as shocking as someone saying they don't like BACON!!!

A perfectly ripe avocado is the most SENSUOUS food on Earth!

If you think throwing up and then breaking out in hives is SENSUOUS then I guess it would be. :puke1:

My wife loves them so I have to be careful when she gets them. I grew up in south Florida and never could handle avocado nor mangoes either. Now give me a grapefruit, lemon, lime or orange and I'm a happy camper.

Sorry!! lol It's not that I despise them, I just don't care for them. If I'm in a Mexican restaurant and get the guacamole on the plate, I will eat it. I'm just not crazy about it.

Thanks Bob and Elmo.. ya know, it's really an attractive salad to serve, and has a pretty rich flavour.
Enjoy all, and let me know what you think of it.
Made it last summer for a pool party and everyone went nutso, if that's any help :D
