Shrimp, Avocado & Tomato Salad
This colorful salad is gorgeous served layered in a large martini glass. The
garlic and herb oil adds a special liveliness when combined with the
flavorful basil and chives. Consider pairing with a white wine made from
Gewurztraminer, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc grapes. For
reds, a wine made from, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Merlot, or Malbec grapes.
