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.
