Summer Heirloom Tomato, Avocado and Herb Salad

We found a delicous looking salad that we just had to share. It’s colorful, tasty and refreshing. Take a peek:

One of the most versatile, simple, and delicious ways to use summer produce (while preserving those gorgeous colors) is tossing it into salads. The sky truly is the limit with what ingredients you can use! I usually like to include a combination of nutrient-rich leafy greens and herbs, vibrant and hydrating veggies like tomatoes or bell peppers, and healthy fats in the form of avocado. Add a sprinkle of hemp seeds for a boost of protein and texture, and you have a beautifully balanced salad!

I love enjoying this dish as an energizing lunch or side dish with dinner. Every single ingredient, from the avocado to the sea salt, combines beautifully in terms of both texture and flavor. This salad is a new ultimate favorite for my family, and it’s sure to be one for yours!
