Avocado & Tomato Salad with Garlic-Chive Dressing



Chives were just harvested so it was time for a homemade salad dressing. This is a super quick summer salad and the dressing really makes it. It has a deep garlic taste and the avocado oil makes it extra delicious.
3 vine ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 large avocado, chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
Kosher salt 
Black pepper

Mix the garlic and a sprinkle of Kosher salt together in a bowl and smash it up with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste, vinegar, and oil. Whisk everything together and put in fridge for an hour or so. Serve the dressing over chopped tomatoes and avocados and add a dash of cilantro on top.
