Avocado Rose With Seasoned Tomatoes

This delicious Avocado Rose With Seasoned Tomatoes is an ideal side dish to enhance any dinner party or a casual Sunday Brunch!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 Avocado

1 Box of small plum tomatoes

1 Lemon

Chives, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste

Cut avocado in half and peel off the skin. Lay one half of the avocado, cut side down, and slice the avocado very thin and even.
Fan out avocado slices so that they form a long line with the slices overlapping each other. Starting from one end, curl avocado slices toward the center. Continue curling the avocado slices until you get a rose.
Cut tomatoes in half and sprinkle with olive oil, finely chopped chives, salt and pepper to taste.

Important tips:

Make sure the avocado ins’t too ripe: Ripe and soft avocados are great for guacamole but not these roses. The avocado just doesn’t slice as cleanly when it’s too ripe, and you’ll end up with a mushy mess when you try to curl the avocado slices into a rose. Be sure to pick a ripe avocado that’s a bit more on the firmer side.

Sprinkle lemon juice to keep avocado from changing color: In order to avoid the avocado to change its color, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice on it to prevent it.
