Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Tomato: Wash and dry the tomato. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Avocado: Carefully cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and cut it into cubes or chunks. Add to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
- Basil: Rinse the basil leaves under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and roughly chop the leaves. Add the chopped basil to the mixing bowl.
- Gently toss the tomatoes, avocado, and basil together until they are evenly distributed. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of hummus and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Mix well until the hummus is fully dissolved into the vinegar, forming a smooth and creamy dressing.
- Pour the hummus-vinegar dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates.
- Optionally, you can garnish the salad with a few whole basil leaves for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and healthy Tomato Basil Avocado Salad with Hummus and Vinegar!
