This tomato avocado salad is a summer plate that needs nothing cooked: cherry and sungold tomatoes halved the long way, cubed avocado and fresh mozzarella pearls. The dressing is a true lemon vinaigrette — equal parts extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice, which is far more lemon than most recipes call for, whisked until it turns milky yellow. That colour change is how you know it has emulsified; before it does, the oil and juice just slide off the tomatoes.
Salad
1 pt cherry tomatoes
1 pinch sungold tomatoes
2 avocados, cubed
½ cup fresh mozzarella pearls
¼ tsp parsley, chopped
¼ tsp basil, chopped
¼ tsp oregano, chopped
Lemon Vinaigrette
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 lemons, juiced (depending on how strong of a lemon flavor you like... we usually do about a 1:1 ratio with the olive oil which is around 2 medium lemons)
¼ tsp sea salt
1Slice all tomatoes in half the long way.
2In a large bowl. combine sliced tomatoes, avocado cubes, and mozzarella pearls.
3In a small bowl, whisk together oile oil, lemon juice, and sea salt. Whisk until the dressing becomes a milky yellow color.
4Pour dressing over tomato salad and toss to combine.
5Add parsley, basil, oregano, and sea salt. Toss again to combine and enjoy!
