Tomato Avocado Salsa or Salad



I found some lovely tomatoes at Costco last week.  You know the ones, they are about the size of a fifty cent piece and have a cute little vine attached.  They are always flavorful and I have a hard time resisting a package of them.  When I rounded the corner at the end of the aisle I was facing a bag of avocados that looked spendid.  Part of them were starting to ripen and the others were still quite firm. 

When I left, I had the makings of a great salsa or salad.  Today the ingredients were going to become a salad.  I had run across another very easy recipe in Cooking Light's 5 Ingredient, 15 Minute recipe collection. 

I did vary the recipe just a smidge.  I used the tomatoes from Costco which are larger than the grape tomatoes.  I used Feta that had a garlic and herbs.  The recipe called for feta with basil and sun-dried tomato.  I used two avocados.  I actually liked not having another herb compete with the oregano.
