Last night I made this for my parents without the lettuce. It was a simple addition to a simple gluten free pizza dinner. Lo and behold, everyone enjoyed it - including my Dad, who had seconds! (Who would guess?)
A.T.O. Salad (Avocado, Tomato & Onion)
(Serves 4-6)
Mix in a bowl:
2 cups of grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise,
2 avocados (insides only, no pit), chopped, and
1/2 of a red onion, chopped.
In a small bowl, combine for your dressing:
2 Tbs olive oil,
1 Tbs lemon juice, and
1/2 tsp salt.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently.
Add a little fresh or dried cilantro.
It does fine waiting in the fridge for up to a day if necessary.
Optional additions:
lettuce torn into small pieces
chunks of cheese

For dessert, I made another fruit upside-down skillet cake (see entry of June 4, 2011), except this one was with peaches and cherries instead of apples. I skipped the nutmeg and cloves, using only cinnamon in the cake mixture.
Another hit!!
