Avocado and Tomato Salad
Avocados are ripe when they begin to darken and yield to gentle pressure. Also, when the stem end "pops" out easily. To remove seed, carefully take a paring knife and cut long-ways all the way around the seed. Twist and remove seed. Then you can spoon out the avocado and dice for this exciting recipe.
Ingredients
- 2-3 ripe avocado, chunked
- 1 cup chopped ripe tomato
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- Leaf lettuce or spinach for baking
- 2 Tbs. mayonnaise
- 2 Tbs. sour cream
- 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. Tabasco or hot sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley or preferable, cilentro
Directions
In a large bowl, blend together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt and Tabasco or hot pepper sauce. Add avocados, tomatoes, onions and parsley and/or cilentro. Toss slightly until well combined.
Cover and chill to blend flavors.
Serve on a bedding of leaf lettuce or spinach leaves, garnished with tomato wedges and/or parsley sprigs. Delicious!
Serves either 6 for a side dish or 3 for a main dish serving.
Enjoy!
