This classic, fresh and light salad is perfect for Summer time and great for potlucks and parties and as good as this Cherry Tomato Salad (One Bowl)and this Waldorf Salad (One Bowl) This is different than a guacamole salad, which involves mashing avocados and mixing that together with lime juice, cilantro, onions, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper.

How to make easy one pot tomato avocado salad recipe from scratch?

Tips and Techniques
- The amount of all the ingredients in this recipe can be adjusted, based on your preference.
- Chilling is not required but highly recommended to allow the flavors to deepen.
- If you don't have limes, you can use lemons, although I think that limes taste the best.
- Cilantro is highly recommended, especially if you are going but if you are not fond of it, replace that with parsley or dill.
- If you want a spicy kick, mix in a small finely chopped jalapeno.
- For best flavor, use ripe tomatoes and avocados.
- For a more tangy flavor, add more lime juice.
- I used cherry tomatoes but you can also use ripe Roma tomatoes.
