This fresh and light heirloom tomato salad is so simple yet makes such a beautiful platter topped with creamy avocado, fresh basil and a balsamic glaze.

Platter of colorful avocado and tomatoes.

Often heirloom tomato salads are served with Burrata or mozzarella cheese (like a Caprese salad vibe) but I have opted for avocado slices to give it that creamy factor and make it plant-based.

This would make a lovely side dish to a hearty meal like a BBQ or an Italian-inspired dish like lasagna.
