Thx dymnyno!
Yum - this would also be fab on a sandwich with some good italian or bone bread.
Great idea TICP -- or maybe on grilled bread -- crositini-like brushed w/ a little garlic and maybe a dab more olive oil -- now you've got my mind working....=)
Nice recipe. Perfect for summer. I like using avocado....it becomes a creamy dressing and is a great balance to the acidic tomatoes.
Thx guys -- just had the rest for lunch and strangely the avocados held up and didn't turn brown -- a first for me....=)
You can probably thank the acidity in the tomatoes and vinegar for that. You can also put the seed in with it and that helps, somewhat, to keep it from turning brown. (Just remember to remove it before serving the next day!!) ;o)
Thanks for the great reminder, AJ! =)
Yum - right up my alley ... this is a perfect summer salad / side!!
That looks so good! The fresh oregano is such a nice touch. Great photo, great recipe. Mmmmmm. Yum. ;o)

One hot summer night in Maine and Creamy Avocado, Basil, Feta & Tomato Salad is the prefect combination. Thank you!
