This salad combines fresh and easy, with only tomatoes, onions, and avocado. There is no tossing required; just stack layers of the three primary ingredients. A crisp salad is a must at every meal, especially when it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, like this tomato avocado salad.
Tomatoes cut fresh from the vine are stacked with sharp onions and smooth avocado. To make the dressing, you only need fresh lemon juice, a squeeze of olive oil, and some chopped parsley. How fantastic does that sound? Similar to the ubiquitous caprese salad, this dish is sure to please. This salad has summery flavors, but don't let that fool you; it's perfect year-round. The zesty, garden-fresh flavors complement a wide range of dishes. The cheerful hues are also perfect for perking up a spring or winter dinner table. That, my friend, is a salad that will never go out of style.
WHAT’S IN THIS SALAD?
The name is self-explanatory, but minor tweaks give it a new, cheerful feel.
- Tomatoes: I prefer on-the-vine tomatoes since they are juicy and have larger slices. However, you can also use Roma tomatoes or any other variety.
- Onion: Choose your favorite onion, even though I go with delicious yellow onions. Red, yellow, or white onions all taste well in this salad.
- Avocado: Use an avocado that is just the right amount of ripe-for-firm, creamy slices that are neither too soft nor too hard.
- Parsley: My go-to herb for a salad that has a garden flavor is parsley. However, cilantro can be used, particularly if lime juice is substituted. This combination is quite remarkable.
- Lemon & Olive Oil: This straightforward salad is made delectable with a drizzle of pricey, high-quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
HOW TO MAKE THIS TOMATO AVOCADO SALAD
This salad can be prepared in under 10 minutes, no joke. The only preparation required is to arrange the sliced components on top of one another since no leafy greens are involved. It's that simple! Here is the sequence:
- On a sizable dish, start by spreading thinly sliced tomatoes.
- The sliced avocados and chopped parsley are placed on top of the sliced onions.
- Add a last sprinkle of lemon juice and olive oil before serving.
Can you prepare this beforehand? This is, in my opinion, best prepared within an hour of serving because, despite the lemon juice's ability to prevent it, the avocado will begin to turn brown. Just be careful to tightly wrap the plate and refrigerate it before serving.
