Tips for Making this Avocado Tomato Salad Recipe
Just a note – this is a creamy salad… as you stir everything together the avocados give off a lovely creamy texture. BUT if you’re not gentle when mixing, it can quickly go from perfectly creamy to “uh-oh I accidentally disintegrated the avocados almost entirely.”
So go easy when stirring so the avocados still mostly keep their shape – use a folding motion to keep the right consistency.

This looks super creamy and delicious.
Aww, thanks, Lewis! Let us know if you try it and what your feedback is on it! We’d love to hear! 🙂
Your blog is filled with unique good articles! I was impressed how well you express your thoughts.
Aww, thanks so much! We babble a bit but hopefully there is always good tips and tricks as well! Enjoy!
Says serve immediately. Would you suggest making this as you eat it or would it be okay for meal prepping?
Tiffany! Great question! You can meal prep everything except for the avocado as they will get brown if you keep it exposed too long. So you could 1. prep everything in the salad and add avocado as you want to eat it or 2. prep everything in little containers and pull together as you want them. Since you are going to only be cutting up avocados, it should go quick! Enjoy and let me know how it goes! 🙂
