A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring creamy avocado and a zesty tomato relish, perfect for any occasion.
Combine the cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
Mixing the salt and vinegar first ensures the salt dissolves completely.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified.
Whisking continuously while adding the oil helps create a smooth dressing.
Add the diced tomatoes, cilantro, shallot, and jalapeño to the dressing and toss gently.
Let the relish sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice the avocados lengthwise, remove the pits, and cut into thin slices.
Use a spoon to scoop out the avocado slices cleanly.
Arrange the lettuce on serving plates and top with the avocado slices.
Chill the plates beforehand to keep the salad fresh.
Spoon the tomato relish over the avocado and lettuce.
Ensure even distribution of the relish for balanced flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing salad.
Garnish with extra cilantro or a wedge of lime for added flair.
