Fresh Tomato and Avocado Salad and Simple Vinaigrette

The story behind

This salad is an absolute classic during lunches in Cuernavaca. We were always looking for something sweet yet nutritious, and the combination of ripe tomatoes with the creaminess of avocado became a family favorite. It is a dish that satisfies with its volume while remaining light and deeply comfortingโ€”offering a fresh flavor that works perfectly as an appetizer or side dish, always maintaining a professional look with a homemade soul.
