From the story: Beginner’s Love.
I created this recipe to be super simple and super delicious. Cherry tomatoes can be substituted for sliced tomatoes and served in an avocado half as a “boat,” along with the other ingredients.
Addictive Avocado Surprise Salad
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 medium Hass avocado
- 1 medium fresh tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled to taste
- ½ teaspoon raw pignolias (pine nuts) available at Trader Joe's
- 1 drizzle cold-pressed 100% olive oil to taste
- 3 drizzles apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar to taste
- 1 drizzle balsamic vinegar to taste
- 2 dashes Himalayan sea salt to taste
- 1 dash pepper (optional) to taste

Instructions
- Wash tomato and avocado. Put on paper towel to dry. Slice tomato into medium-thick slices and lay on plate. Drizzle with a drop of apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar. Sprinkle with a dash of salt.
- Cut the avocado in half. With spoon, scoop out entire half and place it on top of tomato with rounded side up. Drizzle avocado with a little apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar and follow with a tiny sprinkle of salt.
- Evenly pour more apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar on top so that the amount to your liking flows down over all ingredients.
- Evenly pour olive oil on top.
- Add sumac. (optional)
- Sprinkle feta cheese over entire dish.
- Sprinkle pine nuts on top.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar over entire top.
Notes
The trick to making this a truly luxurious and addictive dish is using the finest olive oils and vinegars. This dish is so easy that you can create it in a pinch. It's my go-to when I'm too tired to cook or wash lettuce. It's filling enough to satisfy me as a small meal, and if I'm really hungry, I can eat one after another like candy!
