Can you believe summer is almost over? Pretty soon it will be pumpkin everything! I will miss the sweet, juicy tomatoes of summer, as they will soon be replaced by those flavorless look alikes.

Just look at these gorgeous beauties! I love the vibrant colors of these organic heirloom cherry tomatoes. And, bonus, they were on special this week! I decided the best use for these little jewels, would be to showcase them in a salad.

Along with some creamy avocado, sweet onions and a bright citrusy lime vinaigrette. This tomato and avocado salad is a big bowl of yum!

And it’s a breeze to make. Only requiring a few simple ingredients and minimal time to prepare (about 15 minutes).

Tips for making this yummy salad:

• Use haas avocados. they are the creamiest and most flavorful
• Use sweet onions, they are less potent and better for serving raw
• Always use good quality extra virgin olive oil. You can taste the difference, especially in salads.
• The same goes with vinegar. Use good quality.
• Use fresh squeezed lemon juice. Again you can taste the difference!
• This salad would be great as a main dish with some grilled or cooked shrimp added to it.

Serve tomato and avocado salad with:

• Chili Lime Shrimp Street Tacos With Orange Pico De Gallo And Avocado Crema
• Taco Tuesday! Slow-Cooker Pork Carnitas
• Black Bean Chili with Chorizo
