Avocado Salad

Jay Davies submitted this to us:

Ingredients:
Serves 6

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 3 red tomatoes
  • 1 yellow tomato
  • 2 green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

  1. Dice the avocados and tomatoes into chunks.
  2. Thinly slice the green onion (the whole thing).
  3. Finely chop the garlic using a knife or press.
  4. Throwing everything into your serving bowl.
  5. Toss with olive oil and balsamic and salt and pepper to taste.

Hindsight:

Despite preparing it only five minutes before serving, the avocado texture turned gummy. It tasted good, but didn’t look too pretty. We’re currently researching how to prevent this, but we’re guessing something like lime juice might do the trick.

Summary:

Super easy salad for when you need something exotic in 5 minutes or less.
