I agree with Renée. Let's celebrate fresh tomato season here in the Ottawa area with some creative cooking, especially with the variety of local fresh herbs that are available at this time of year. I have just picked my first ripe tomato today and made up an interesting concoction with fresh cilantro and avocado. I am not sure what to call it so I will say it is a
Tomato Avocado Dish
Place the following in a large serving dish:
2 ripe avocadoes - peeled and sliced
1 large tomoato - sliced
1 or 2 green onion - chopped
Top with about 1 or 2 tbsp of chopped fresh cilantro. If you like cilantro you will want to put 2. you can also use other fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano to give a different experience of the tomoto
Dressing:
Whisk together:
Juice of one-half lime
about 1/4 cup olive oil
Pour dressing over tomato avacado mixture. Sprinkle with freshly ground salt and pepper to taste.
This would be a great accompaniment to most main courses or serve as an appetizer with crusty or pita bread. I served it with a lamb loin that was marinated in an oregano spinach pesto and cooked on the barbecue grill. Great meal!
