Tips:

Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, with no blemishes or bruises. They should be slightly soft to the touch.
Use fresh tomatoes: Ripe, juicy tomatoes are essential for this salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
Chop the vegetables evenly: This will help ensure that the salad is cooked evenly.
Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lack flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
Use a light vinaigrette: A light vinaigrette will help to dress the salad without overpowering the flavors of the vegetables.
Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

This quick avocado tomato salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
