Here is an easy and excellent salad that can be prepared with very few ingredients and served at a fancy dinner as well as a casual night with a few friends….or just for you 🙂

Ingredients

• 2 tomatoes ripe
• 1 avocado

dressing

• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 4 tsp anchovy paste
• 2 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 small clove garlic minced
• pinch salt and pepper
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Cut the tomatoes in thick slices starting with the bottom of the tomatoes. Discard the stem. Then cut each slices in 2 and arrange on  a rectangular platter.

Cut the avocado in 2 from top to bottom and remove the pit. Thinly slice the avocado lengthwise without breaking the skin. With your fingers, slide the peel away and pop the wedges out. Arrange on the platter on top of the tomatoes.

In bowl, whisk together all ingredients except the oil, then add the oil slowly as you whisk until thickened and well mixed.

Sprinkle on the tomato-avocado mixture and you are done!
