Chopped tomatoes, avocado and feta on blue and white plate

Ingredients

3 tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, diced
1 cup (250 mL) diced cucumbers
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
2 tbsp (25 mL) white balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp (15 mL) extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh oregano
Pinch fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled light feta

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, avocado, cucumber and shallot. Add vinegar, oil, oregano and pepper. Toss gently. Sprinkle with feta and toss again.

Tips

Be sure to buy your avocados a few days early. Look for firm green ones and let them ripen at home. The skin will darken and yield slightly when pressed. Cut the avocado in quarters then pull away from the pit and peel to dice.
