There's a dish at one of the best places to eat in town, but unfortunately it is only on the spring and summer menu, which isn't out yet. With the extra warm weather this weekend, we decided to try our hand at making the same dish at home. We seriously lucked out. With a few … Continue reading Avocado Chicken Salad
