Avocado, Tomato and Red Onion Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing

This is a stunning, simple, and delicious salad that pairs beautifully with a meat main course, or can be served on it's own with a fresh baguette. The sweet tomatoes, creamy avocado, and vibrant onion flavor combine beautifully with the salty blue cheese dressing. With so few ingredients in this dish, make sure they're the best. In season tomatoes, ripe avocados and good quality blue cheese make a difference. And trust me on the baguette, you'll want to use it to sop up any extra dressing left behind!
