Avocado and Tomato Salad

I really love recipes like this that require no "cooking" but just chopping and mixing things together.
To elevate and bring even more flavor, try adding diced mango pieces, or even diced strawberries,  chopped jalapeños or hot and sweet jalapeños.

Instructions

  • For the dressing: Add the Dijon mustard to your bowl or mason jar, add the apple cider vinegar and slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the avocado cubes, tomatoes, cucumbers and corn in a large bowl. Gently toss together and squeeze a little fresh lemon over the top. Drizzle (start with a little) the dijon vinaigrette over the top and mix again. You might not need all of the dressing. Serve and garnish with fresh basil and sprinkle on some Maldon sea salt flakes (optional). Enjoy with tortilla chips!
