Why You'll Love Heirloom Tomato, Avocado & Feta Salad
It's light but satisfying, with juicy, creamy, salty, and herbal notes in every bite. No cooking, all flavor-perfect for hot days and ripe produce.
Tips and Tricks
- Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape.
- Let the tomatoes marinate while you prep everything else-it makes a big difference.
Variations
- Add sliced cucumbers or grilled corn for more texture.
- Swap feta for goat cheese or burrata for a creamier take.
Substitutions
- Use cherry tomatoes if heirlooms aren't available-just halve them.
- Substitute lime for lemon if you're going for a slightly sharper flavor.
Best served with
- Toasted sourdough or grilled flatbread
- Grilled chicken or fish
- Chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon
How to Store Leftovers
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container up to 1 day. Avocado may brown slightly but will still taste great.
Common Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can marinate the tomatoes ahead, but wait to add the avocado and feta until just before serving.
Is this salad vegan?
It can be-just omit the feta or sub a plant-based version.
