Steps:

  • Place the sliced avocados and tomatoes in a bowl, then drizzle on the oil.
  • Next, sprinkle with some Kosher or sea salt. You can always add more later if needed.
  • If you are going to omit anything in this salad, skip the vinegar, but do NOT omit the salt, this is what gives it flavor.
  • Now adda little a little vinegar to taste, if desired. You could substitute lemon juice if preferred.

AVOCADO & MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING



Avocado & Mozzarella Salad With Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing image

This makes a refreshing meal, served with a loaf of crusty french bread and good bottle of red wine; could also be used as a first course, in reduced quantities. I recommend using the finger-tip sized fresh mozzarella balls if you can find them. Which salad greens you use are up to you, but a combination half dark green leaf/half alfalfa sprouts seems to work particularly well, and is also quite attractive. I'd never eaten alfalfa sprouts before trying this recipe but was a quick convert to their clean, spicy flavor.

AVOCADO-LIME RANCH DRESSING



Avocado-Lime Ranch Dressing image

This avocado lime ranch dressing is a Chick-fil-A copycat recipe. This version has no sugar added, is half the calories of the original, and is made with buttermilk, avocado, fresh cilantro, spices, and lime for a tangy, zesty twist on a classic salad dressing. Dairy-based salad dressings will last in the refrigerator for up to one week. Using freshly opened sour cream and buttermilk will help it last as long as possible.-Kelsey Reddick Smith, Knoxville, Tennessee
