PIN IT FOR LATER!

I have decided that I could easily spend a year cooking just from my archives. No new recipes – just remaking the old. I actually even considered taking a month this year to do just that. I ultimately decided against it because there are so many new recipes I want to make as well, but it’s still very tempting. I have so many gems that I made 4, 5, 6 years ago. That is the only downfall of being someone that is addicted to trying new recipes – I often have to force myself to go back and cook things that I’ve made before and loved.

This recipe is actually one that I made first back in 2008, alongside these Steaks with Mexican Spices and Chile Con Queso. This Avocado and Tomato Salad is the definition of simple – which is why it’s so good. I love when you can take so few ingredients and turn it into something so delicious and packed with flavor. And even though it’s April, and super flavorful, in-season tomatoes are nowhere to be found, this salad still packs a punch. You can bet that I’ll be making this all summer long when the local tomatoes start showing up.

So whether you need a salad for a potluck, or just for your weeknight dinner plans, this Avocado and Tomato Salad is your answer!

    This is a very yummy salad. For taking to a potluck, does the lime keep the avocados from browning for a while?

      Yes, it should be good for a few hours, but I wouldn’t make it much more in advance than that.

    I’ll try it but my all time favorite is to simply mix avocado cubes and grapefruit chunks plus pepper.

      The type doesn’t necessarily matter – you’ll just want a tomato that is full of flavor. This time of year is harder, because they aren’t in season, so I usually have the best luck with romas. But during the summer, any in-season, ripe tomato should work.

    This salad is as old as time. It’s a classic combination, except mine always includes lettuce. What I like about it is that it takes well to any dressing you prefer, from creamy ranch to vinaigrette. It’s the perfect accompaniment to EVERYTHING from grilled steaks, chops, chicken & fish to enchiladas and quesadillas! Add hard boiled egg and baby shrimp and you’ve got a lovely dinner salad. And if you’re doing the low-carb thing, a big bowl of this salad alongside a serving of protein and you’ll never feel deprived. Delicious.

    Thanks for sharing. I saw a recipe Avocado and hard boiled egg salad, I don’t like the salad cream they added in, thinking to add in Vinaigrette Dressing . Glad to see your recipe. I will dice some hard boiled eggs, the same size as the Avocado and tomato.

    Just wanted to say I love hearing that someone else has my addiction of trying new recipes ! In 82 years I have an enormous collection of recipes, but can’t resist all the new ones I find.
