I loved this salad! Wouldn't change any ingrediants, but would bury the guacamole layer under the chopped tomatoes, olives, etc... as I had people just eating the guacamole off the top right when I brought it in.... Geeesh!

I made this salad for Memorial Day Cookout. It was a big hit. I was half gone before I knew it. The recipe was definitely desired. Very easy to make. I did serve the chips on the side it was easier for people to take the salad with a serving spoon and then add the chips
