Easy Tomato Avocado Salad
Description

The lime juice brightens the flavors and balances the richness of olive oil. Red pepper flakes add a gentle heat to the mix.
The salad is prepared by gently tossing the ingredients with the dressing, preserving the freshness and texture of the vegetables. It can be served immediately to enjoy the creamy avocado contrast with juicy tomatoes.
