🍓 Ingredients
Everything about this avocado tomato salad recipe is absolutely terrific. With the incredibles flavors of the tomatoes and avocados, you end up with a refreshing, light, and tasty meal.
Roma Tomatoes: It’s important to note that using Roma tomatoes is by far your best option. A lot of other tomatoes do not hold up well with the other ingredients and they will end up soggy. Roma tomatoes hold their shape very well and they’ll make this a tasty side you won’t forget.
Ripe Avocados: Using ripe avocados will give you that cool, refreshing, and creamy texture that makes this dish so incredible.
Corn: I prefer to use white corn cobs when I’m making this avocado tomato salad. It has a fun and yummy flavor that I think you’re going to enjoy.
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.

Notes
Nutrition
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! 🙂
