Fresh and bright, this Avocado and Tomato Salad is a perfect side dish alongside any Mexican themed meal. It’s also a great pot-luck salad!

AVOCADO AND TOMATO SALAD

This recipe is actually one that I made first back in 2008, alongside these Steaks with Mexican Spices and Chile Con Queso. This Avocado and Tomato Salad is the definition of simple – which is why it’s so good. I love when you can take so few ingredients and turn it into something so delicious and packed with flavor. And even though it’s April, and super flavorful, in-season tomatoes are no where to be found, this salad still packs a punch. You can bet that I’ll be making this all summer long when the local tomatoes start showing up.

So whether you need a salad for a pot luck, or just for your weeknight dinner plans, this Avocado and Tomato Salad is your answer!
