Directions: |
Directions:Peel and slice avocados into chunks. Put in a small bowl and squeeze lemon juice over them so they won't brown. Set aside.
Chop tomatoes, removing inner juice and seeds, and place in medium to large salad bowl. Chop parsley and stir in with tomatoes. Chop onion into small bits and stir in with the tomatoes. Crumble feta cheese and add to the salad mixture. Lightly stir in. Gently stir cut avocados into the salad mix, careful not to mash avocado as you stir. Chill until ready to serve.
Dressing: Mix or shake together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced fresh garlic, and black pepper to taste. Gently toss dressing in with salad before serving.
Recipe is adjustable to your preferred tastes. If you think you'd like a more lemon flavor, squeeze juice from the lemon into the dressing before stirring in. If you like onion, use more. I like it for the crunch it brings to the salad, so I used more. And, feel free to play and add ingredients as you like. It's an adaptable recipe! |

Notes: A friend of mine made this for a birthday party and I instantly loved it! Reminded me of an avocado tabouli, probably because of the parsley, lemon, and tomato. I experimented with it later and decided it needed to be drier so the avocado wouldn't get mushy. I kept the tomatoes dry by removing the juices and drying them before adding in. Also, I held off on adding the dressing until serving. Goes well with pita bread slices and hummus.
