Avocado, Cherry Tomato Salad
This is a delicious but simple salad which looks very attractive. I have used Lollo Rosso lettuce which is is frilly and has curly green leaves with bright red edges. It is mild , tasty and will not overshadow the flavor of avocados. Select firm, perfectly ripe avocados which can be sliced and tiny cherry tomatoes for this simple, easy salad.

- 1 small bunch lollo rosso lettuce
- 1 large avocado
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes
