Raspberry Avocado Salad with Avocado Dressing

I love fresh fruits and veggies and this is a salad that combines both.  I have made this salad substituting strawberries and other different kinds of berries just depending what is in season.  The great thing about avocados is that they stay in season all year round.  This avocado salad dressing is thick and creamy and nutritious.  I hope you enjoy!
