Avocado and Tomato Were Made For Each Other

I walked into the grocery store the other day, and the first thing that I saw was a produce table with avocados next to roma tomatoes. I instantly got a craving for a tomato-feta-avocado salad. I bought one of each and made them into a simple salad when I got home. 

I diced the tomato and chopped the avocado into small pieces. I mixed in a handful of crumbled fat free feta cheese, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. The result was a fresh and flavorful salad that took only minutes to make. 

The next time that I make it, I want to add fresh cilantro and some black pepper. I've lived in my apartment for a month, and I still haven't bought pepper. I should add that to my to-do list. 

I'm now off to bed (with Libby- she's staying at my apartment for the night!) so that I can rest up for a very eventful day tomorrow. I'm going to the West Loop Craft Beer Fest with some friends, which is conveniently located within close walking distance to my apartment. I should remember to take pictures and share some of my favorite Chicago brews with all of you. I unfortunately can't sample everything, because we all know what happens to 5-foot girls who try every beer at the festival and have the tolerance of an average person on a 6-month juice cleanse.

I also have a funny story regarding my eyes for you the next time that I post. It's a page-turner, for sure!

Happy Memorial
