I love cooking but I especially like making things that are simple and delicious. I recently came across a recipe for an easy side salad - one that fits our current Whole30 eating plan.
Simple tomato and avocado salad
1 tomato, diced
1 avocado, diced
2 tsp good olive oil
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
Put diced tomato and avocado in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil and vinegar. Toss to coat. Let sit for 10 mins to let flavours develop. I can only imagine how yummy this salad will be in the summer when we have our fresh CSA tomatoes!
Note - I recently bought the '3 leaf' President's Choice balsamic vinegar from Superstore. I think that it was $5.99/bottle. I found it to be pretty tasty for such a reasonably priced balsamic vinegar.
Note two - I always have two different types of olive oil on hand. I buy one big cheap bottle from Costco and one smaller, more expensive bottle from where ever I can find a good deal. I use the more expensive one in salad dressings and to pour over food when I want to enhance the flavour. I use the other olive oil for general cooking and sauteing. No point in wasting good olive oil to fry food!
