This is a super easy recipe that is particularly delicious when summer’s tomatoes are on. Don’t bother making it any other time of the year. If the tomatoes aren’t those warm red lunkers right out of your garden, don’t make this. But if they are, you’re in for a treat!
First off, you can make this salad any size you want. Just adjust your desired amount of tomatoes, cukes, you get the idea.
Chop up the tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado. Place in a bowl and drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to your liking. The measurements I listed are just a guideline. Use more or less, according to your taste. I add the sugar and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. You can add fresh chopped basil and fresh mozzarella cheese chunks too if you like, but I like mine just like this.
You can serve this as a salad, or over hot steamy white rice, or just naked by itself. It doesn’t look pretty if you try to keep it, so I toss it together right before I eat it. You could always use a lighter-colored vinegar, and then it’ll stay pretty longer.

I found this to be good, but too *soupy*. I did use Balsamic Reduction instead of straight balsamic vinegar, so that may have played a part.
I will make it again, I will just toss a bit of the *dressing*, and stir to see if its to my liking. I wont use the amounts I used the first time.
**Its good with tortilla chips too!!!

Yum! I’m always on the look out for low carb recipes, and this one is easily converted with a good sugar substitute (maybe Truvia)…I can’t wait to try it. Into the recipe box it goes.
