Hello you lovely people,
I apologize for making myself so scare for the last few days, but it's been season opening week at the theatre and my last work week there in general (I decided to go back to university! :) ). Therefore everything has been a little bit stressful...
In compensation I am going to share a really good, quick and easy recipe for a tomato-avocado salad. I served it last week at my birthday brunch and it was eaten up almost immediately. I figure that's a good sign. ;)
What you'll need
- eight medium-sized tomatoes
- 1 lemon
- olive oil
- 2 garlic gloves
- 2 tbsp. vinegar (I used cider vinegar)
- 4 avocados
- 400g cocktail tomatoes
- salt and pepper
How it works
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the (medium-sized) tomatoes in halves and spread them on a baking tray with baking paper. Wash the lemon with hot water, dry it, grate the lemon zest and press out the juice. Mix 4 tablespoons of olive oil with about half of the lemon juice and sprinkle the mixture on the tomatoes.
Roast the tomatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes in the oven. Take them out and put them aside. Safe the tomatoe juice which is left in the baking tray in a small bowl.
For the dressing peel and chop the garlic. Add 5 tablespoons of olive oil, the vinegar, the remaining lemon juice and the lemon zest.
Cut the avocados in halves and take out the pulp using a spoon. Cut the halves into slices and spread them together with the baked tomatoes and the cherry tomatoes on a serving plate. Sprinkle the tomato juice and the dressing on the salad and salt and pepper to taste. Done!
PS: If you want to add some cheese: Ricotta fits perfectly!
Have a great evening!
Yours,
Steffi
