A great way to celebrate the warm weather is with this refreshing and delicious simple salad. These few incredible veggies are amazing on there own but also great when mixed together. You can use this salad as your base and add to it with what you have in the pantry, or with whats fresh at the farm stand.

Ingredients:

3 Avocados

medium red onion

12 -15 small vine tomatoes  1.5 "

1-2 limes juiced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

3-4 tablespoons olive oil

salt & pepper

Remove the nub, nobody wants to get that in there dish.

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit.

There are many ways to remove the skin from the avocado, what ever way is easiest without bruising the veggie is good. These are two ways to do it. Either scoop out the avocado with a big spoon pressing against the skin, or you can just peel the skin right off.

Chop avocado into uniform chunks.

Try to use ripe but firm tomatoes for this salad. Cut tomatoes in quarter wedges.

Cut onion in half and slice each half in paper thin slices.

Roughly chop cilantro.

Layer the ingredients in a bowl. Add juice of one lime, drizzle the olive oil, add salt and pepper. Very gently and lightly fold in the salad with a spoon. be gentle so that the avocados don't get mashed.

Taste  to see if you need to add some more lime juice.

A few ideas for great add-ons to the salad are cucumbers, chick peas, black beans, roasted corn. grilled chicken, feta cheese, or what ever combinations you like.
