Simple side dish with avocado and tomatoes
Ingredients
- 3 tomatoes
- 2 avocados
- ½ solo garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 10 g fresh basil leaves about a handful
- olive oil
- creamy balsamico
- sea salt flakes and black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the ripe tomatoes and the ripe and creamy avocados into thin slices. For the tomatoes you can also use cherry tomatoes as a substitute
- Finely chop the garlic.
- Chop the fresh basil.
- Neatly spread out the tomato and avocado slices on a plate.
- Pour a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the creamy avocado.. The acid in the citrus juice keeps the avocado from browning, keeping it that green vibrant color.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped garlic and basil over the tomatoes and avocados.
- And finally, drizzle a little bit of olive oil, creamy balsamico, and a few sea salt flakes (like Maldon) and pepper over the dish before serving it.
