How to Make Avocado Salad With Warm Tomato Basil Vinaigrette
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are slightly softened and the mixture is warmed through (about 5-7 minutes). Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Immediately remove from heat and set aside. The warmth will infuse the vinaigrette with incredible flavor.
- While the vinaigrette simmers, prepare your avocados. Gently slice 2 ripe avocados and arrange them on a bed of soft lettuce leaves on individual plates.
- Spoon the warm tomato basil vinaigrette generously over the avocado slices. Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
