Prepare the Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and fresh basil.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice), and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like a touch of sweetness, add the honey or maple syrup and whisk to combine.
Toss the Salad:
Pour the dressing over the tomato and avocado mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add Optional Ingredients:
If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta or goat cheese over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.
Serve:
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you prefer a colder salad.
This Tomato Avocado Salad is a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors, and it pairs wonderfully with a variety of main dishes. Enjoy!
