Tips
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly firm to the touch, as they will be easier to stuff and hold their shape.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the avocados and remove the pits, as this will help prevent the avocados from browning.
- To make the tomato salad, use a variety of colors and textures of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Add some fresh herbs to the tomato salad, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, for extra flavor.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs or a sprinkle of lemon zest to add flavor to the tomato salad.
