Notes

I recommend serving this salad immediately. If you need to prepare it in advance, you can cover the salad and store it in the refrigerator for one hour.

You can use any type of tomato you like in this dish. I used small vine ripened tomatoes which I cut into quarters.

Make sure to pick ripe avocados that are on the firmer side so that they don't turn to mush in the salad.
