Green Tomato & Avocado Salad

Serves 4

If you have access to great tomatoes from a farmers’ market (or grow your own), give green tomatoes a try with avocado. Serve as a summer starter, or with simple pan-fried or barbecued fish.

4-5 green tomatoes (I used Aunt Ruby’s green tomatoes in the photograph)

1-2 perfectly ripe avocados

½ lemon

Extra virgin olive oil

Flaky sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Fresh herbs to taste: snipped chives, tiny mint leaves, parsley leaves, small basil leaves

Sliced feta, optional

1 Slice tomatoes. Halve avocados, remove stones, peel and slice. Arrange tomatoes and avocados on individual plates. Squeeze over a little lemon juice. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

2 For a change, top the salad with sliced feta and basil leaves.
