Simple Tomato and Avocado Salad
Description
This salad uses basic slicing and layering of vine-ripened tomatoes, thin onion, and small avocado slices, arranged on a plate for an attractive presentation. A sprinkle of chopped parsley adds herbaceous freshness. The dressing consists of freshly squeezed lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil drizzled before serving, with salt and black pepper added to taste.
The result is a salad that highlights the juicy, slightly acidic tomatoes combined with creamy avocado and the bite from the onion. The lemon juice brightens the flavors, while the olive oil enriches the mouthfeel without overpowering the delicate ingredients.
It's a straightforward side dish suited to accompany grilled meats or fish or as a light starter. The simplicity allows the quality and freshness of the ingredients to shine.
An olive oil dispenser that offers controlled pouring is recommended to evenly dress the salad without excess, preserving the dish's balance.
