Avocado + Tomato Salad August 10, 2016 0 Comments » Scroll down to watch the video. I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you about my love and adoration of the avocado. There are really no words. But let’s just say I’m happy to eat them on any given day, at any given time.  Often cut in half with a sprinkle of salt and spoon.  But I digress… In this (very) simple salad, avocados are paired with some garden fresh veggies, garlic (duh!), fresh lemon and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The result is this easy yet stunning salad that is jam-packed with flavor and super versatile. It’s great as a side for grilled chicken and fish, a fun appetizer served along some corn chips or veggies, and a delicious host for an over medium egg. #somanyoptions!
