AVOCADO SALAD WITH WARM TOMATO-BASIL VINAIGRETTE



Avocado Salad with Warm Tomato-Basil Vinaigrette image

Warming the vinaigrette makes this salad special and really brings out the aroma of the fresh basil. It's from Martha Stewart's Quick Cook. I think that adding some grilled shrimp or chicken to this recipe would make a wonderful luncheon dish.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, select ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have dark spots.
  • Make sure your tomatoes are ripe and flavorful: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the vinaigrette. This will give it the best flavor.
  • Use good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use for the vinaigrette should be extra virgin and have a fruity, peppery flavor.
  • Fresh basil is key: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the vinaigrette. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is best for this salad. You don't want to overwhelm the flavors of the avocado and tomatoes.

Conclusion:

This avocado salad with warm tomato-basil vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful dish that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and zesty vinaigrette come together perfectly to create a salad that's both satisfying and delicious.
