Avocado and Tomato Salad

This is a simple salad that is quite good (and I say that as someone who's not big on either tomatoes or onions!). I did make some adjustments to the original recipe - specifically, I used only half of the onions and balsamic vinaigrette recommended, and squeezed some lime juice onto my salad to keep the avocado from turning brown (as I was saving some for lunch the next day), and I like how it added a refreshing taste to the salad. The recipe, as I prepared it, is as follows:

AVOCADO AND TOMATO SALAD

Ingredients:

• 4 large tomatoes, chopped
• 4 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 4 oz balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
• 1 lime
  

Directions:

1. In a large serving bowl, toss together the tomatoes, avocados and red onion. Squeeze the juice of a lime onto the salad.
2. Dust lightly with black pepper, and pour salad dressing over.
3. Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving to blend flavors.

Yields: 6 servings
