Very easy, delicious, and pretty too - you can be really creative with the presentation. The recipe makes WAY too much dressing though. I halve it, and there is still more than enough for 4 servings. Prior to preparation, make sure you let the tomatoes and avocado come to room temperature - the first time I made it, they were too cold, and the salad lacked flavor.

This was good and certainly easy. I think next time I'd use less balsamic vinegar - maybe half balsamic, half regular or red wine vinegar. It was just too strong in the balsamic category.

This is very good. Have recently discovered that we like avocados, and this is a nice way to have them. The dressing is very good--sweet.
