Avocado and Tomato Salad

On our recent vacation to visit family, our niece made this wonderful salad for a family barbecue hosted by our son and daughter-in-law. The salad has the wonderful full flavor of fresh tomatoes and avocado that the San Joaquin Valley is known for in the summer. We enjoyed the salad along with hot dogs, beans, watermelon, chips and a wonderful birthday cake Mom made for our great-niece. This wonderful gathering of our family will be a time I will always remember fondly. Blessings...
