Tips for the tomato avocado salad recipe
- Try these add-ins that go well with this tomato avocado salad: chopped cucumber, crispy bacon, corn, olives. Or any protein you like: grilled chicken, shrimp.
- To keep the avocado from turning brown, brush the avocado in either lemon juice or lime juice. It will act as an antioxidant and keep the avocado from turning brown too quickly.
How to pick up the right avocado?
Choose ripe avocados for this salad since there are not many ingredients in the recipe – their flavor must prevail! Pick-up pipe avocados that are a dark, almost black color. Avoid green-skinned avocados as they are likely underripe. The avocados should yield to gentle pressure but your thumb shouldn’t leave an obvious mark though. Also, if the avocado is green under the stem, it’s ripe.
How to keep the tomato avocado salad
This tomato avocado salad recipe keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days if stored in an air-tight container. You may have to toss up the tomato avocado salad leftovers to redistribute the dressing and the juices before you serve.
