A few simple ingredients and an immersion blender are all you need to make creamy homemade mayonnaise. I won’t ever purchase store-bought again after discovering how quick and much great it tastes!

- 2 small tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges

Reviews
Made as written and not a fan. Tomato wedges and avocado slices are completely different thickness and do not “pinwheel” good. Especially if you get a ripened avocado that is at the perfect stage to eat. It mixed with the juices from the tomatoes turn it to mush. On that note, the amount of dressing is WAY too much. This has potential with some tweaks but I won’t be making it again. Sorry.
Super easy appetizer. Thanks for the idea and recipe!
Yuck. I never post bad reviews and hardly ever dislike food but this was terrible. I was so looking forward to the yummy tomato avocado combo and I love olive oil and vinegar but the vinegar was too overwhelming and tasted bad with the avocado; the olive oil was also too overpowering. If I were to change it I’d use only one tablespoon vinegar, the rest lemon and barely any olive oil, a little salt and throw some onion in with a bit of garlic powder. I’d probably use a white vinegar l
Added cucumbers
So my thoughts are…it’s just ok. Dressing is good but didnt really like it much on avocados. I added some cucumber which was a good addition. I think I’ll use the leftover dressing on tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. oh, and like others said, I made 1/2 the amount and I still had plenty left.
Great!! So flavorful!!
Extremely easy and very tasty. Like many others have said, cut the dressing in half and it will be plenty. I will make this again, but will cut down on the balsamic slightly.
This salad was very easy and fast but the dressing is off. I was on the fence between 3 & 4 stars because of the dressing. The vinegar to oil ratio is off especially if you use a good quality balsamic. I recommend using 1/2 c olive oil, 2 teaspoon good quality balsamic, 1 tablespoon Dijon, 1 clove garlic & salt/pepper to taste.
Hadn’t thought of this combination before. Very good.
We love this salad, this does make a lot of dressing but I like in on other salads too!
Very good and super easy. For those who complained about too much dressing…duh…don’t use it all,
Very easy prep but very bland….perhaps some chopped garlic and fresh basil next time
I decided to depart from the precise recipe, adding a bed of baby spinach. With the tomatoes and avocado added sliced red bell pepper, seedless cucumber, celery, and sliced boiled egg. Made a very tasty green salad better with the wonderful balsamic dressing.
Awesome salad! I didn’t have balsamic vinegar so I switch it w/ red wine vinegar and only 3 tablespoons. Added Italian seasoning , kosher salt and Cajun seasoning for a bit of kick.
This was perfect. I used the extra dressing on other salads. This was very simple healthy salad without any artificial sugar added. I am going to make this again and again.
Perfect lunch for me and my husband. I changed it to two servings. I put two lettuce leaves under the salad. Beautiful presentation. Have made twice and will do again.
a must
Very simple recipe and tastes amazing. Husband even loved it.
Thanks for the recipe. I used yellow mustard and three large roma tomatoes. The recipe calls for what I feel is way too much dressing. I used 1 tbs oil and 3 tbs vinegar and it was perfect.
I’m a big fan of balsamic vinegar so this was for me. Only changes we made were to add a dash of salt, a bit of sliced white onion and sliced cucumber. Quick “salad” with healthy, yummy ingredients. Definitely will be using this recipe often.
Delicious. I made only 1/3 of the dressing (plenty) and cut down the vinegar. I added thin-sliced red onion and feta. mmm
