Avocado Tomato Salad

Recipes »  Salad  »  Vegetable Salads

This delicious salad started out life as a salsa recipe from epicurious.com and has morphed into one of our favourite salads. We always have it with Grilled Cumin Chicken.

 "I just made this salad and loved it. My version also included diced poblano pepper, green onions, fresh queso, cilantro, lime zest, and a sprinkling of chili powder and cumin. I'm posting a picture of my first of many avocado tomato salads. Thanks for the recipe." - divalicious

Servings          
Original recipe makes 3 Servings
2 largetomatoes; seeded and chopped in large chunks
2 largeAvocados; cut in large chunks
1 tablespoonRed onion; cut in very fine strips
1/2 tablespoonPickled jalapeno pepper; finely chopped
1 - 2 tablespoonslime juice
1 teaspoonSalt

Avocado Tomato Salad Preparation

The avocadoes and tomatoes should be approximately the same size. Combine all ingredients and serve immediately. I often prepare the entire dish ahead of time without the avocados and then add them at the last minute. Be sure to seed the tomatoes or there will be too much juice. Adjust lime juice so there's not too much liquid.

    Made this recently, no bad, but I didn't have the jalapeños :( I think that would have a big difference...next time I'll be sure to add them

    I prepared this all earlier except for the avocado which I added just before serving. A good refreshing salad and will be doing this again.
