Ingredients

  • 5 large tomatoes
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

  1. 1

    Core the tomatoes and chop into bite sized pieces. Add to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Slice the ends of the cucumber off, discard and chop the cucumber into bite sized pieces. Add to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Slice or chop the onion, I like to use a mandoline to get thin strips.

  4. 4

    Add to the bowl with all remaining ingredients aside from the avocado. Toss together until combined.

  5. 5

    Let marinate for about 15 minutes to allow the tomatoes to soften and the flavors to blend. Add the sliced avocado and gently toss to combine. Enjoy as is or with your favorite bread on the side.
