I am honored to be a part of the *Park Avenue Potluck CELEBRATIONS* virutal potluck dinner party that The Naptime Chef is hosting. Kelsey wrote me and asked me if I would take part in this virtual potluck to help spotlight the new cookbook and fundraiser and I emphatically agreed. If you wonder if there is a personal connection, read the 'About' section.
The Park Avenue Potluck CELEBRATIONS is a follow-up to the best selling cookbook, *Park Avenue Potluck*. It is created and authored by members of The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), the new cookbook is to be released nationwide this and offers advice on how to celebrate in style with a compilation of sensational recipes, entertaining ideas, party-planning tips, and personal anecdotes from New York’s most celebrated hostesses. Award-winning food writer and contributing* New York Times* columnist *Florence Fabricant* authors and edits each recipe as well as contributes to the book.
In addition to having fun, this virtual dinner party will be supporting the fight against cancer. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of *Park Avenue Potluck CELEBRATIONS* will provide funding for The Society’s patient care, research and education programs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Founded in 1946 by a group of pioneering women, The Society strives to bring comfort and care to improve the quality of life of patients treated at the Center.

This looks delicious! Anything with avocado...I'm in!
What a flavourful salad. Delicious & for such a wonderful cause. Love it!!
Delicious salad, love the avocado here! Nice to see you at the "party" :)
Isn't butterhead lettuce yummy?! I also made this salad for the virtual dinner. Had I known you have videos on scoring avocados, I would have followed your lead. Mine were a bit mushy after my chopping. But it's the flavor that counts, right?!
You did a great job with the salad. I love your blog!
If you get the chance, try the oatmeal cookies. They are to-die-for!
Take care,
Tiffany
this salad looks fab, great to be having dinner with you lol Rebecca
I was also planning on buying the cookbook for friends/family this Christmas! Loved my recipe and all of the other potluck recipes look fantastic, yours included!
How can you go wrong with avocado? Nice "meeting" you today!
So fun to see what other bloggers "brought" to the party tonight. This looks lovely (as does your blog--just discovered it). In my book, anything with avocado is a winner.
