Tomato and Avocado Salsa

This is such a nice, bright summer salad that is super easy and super yummy. Having a couple of different coloured tomatoes definitely ups the colour palate in this recipe - I had a lot of fun picking out big, small, green and orange tomatoes at the grocery store.  We served this dish with Jerk Chicken on the BBQ (to follow!). Enjoy and as always... bon appetit!


Ingredients
2 pounds assorted tomatoes (any color), sliced or halved if small
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Dash of lemon juice
1 tbs balsamic or cider vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions
On a large plate or platter, arrange tomatoes and avocado. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar (or cider vinegar would be nice too), a dash of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
