This easy tomato avocado salad is the ultimate summer meal! Made with ripe avocados, tomatoes, red onions, lemon, and olive oil!
One of the best things about this tomato avocado salad is that it’s so simple to make! If I had to choose one salad to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it. I can’t get enough of tomatoes and avocados. As long as they’re generously salted, I am a happy camper.
What I love most about this tomato avocado salad is that it’s light and super refreshing. Everything you could ask for in a summer salad! As far as the dressing goes, simple is best here.
I used a lemon and oil combo and seasoned it with lots of salt and pepper. Don’t have lemons? Use limes instead! Don’t like lemons or limes? Some olive oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar works just as good.
