Herb Avocada Salad - Memphis Blues Barbeque House

Suggested Beer Pairings: Light Lager, Flavoured Ale

Examples: Natureland Organic Lager - Pacific Western Brewing, Authentic Wild Honey Ale - Nelson Brewing, Red Truck Lager - Red Truck Beer Company, Kitsilano Maple Cream Ale - Granville Island Brewing, Rickard's Honey Brown, Raspberry Wheat Ale - Central City Brewing, Central City Brewing Premium Lager - Central City Brewing.

Comments: The fruity sweetness in the beer will mix nicely with the honey to compliment and the vinegar to contrast. The ligher flavoured beers will allow the delicate flavours of the avocado and seasonings to come through.
