Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he demonstrates this simple but delicious dish! One of the most important steps is to get avocados that are perfectly ripe. This can be tough, so your best bet is usually to buy them one or two days ahead of time. Also, be sure to season the vinaigrette generously with lots of salt and pepper.

For your tomatoes, there are several options. Grape tomatoes on the vine or cherry tomatoes on the vine work best, but regular cherry and grape tomatoes will work as well. The Tuscan Italian white wine vinegar can be substituted for extra lemon juice if needed.

Ingredients:
-5 oz baby arugula
-12 oz grape tomatoes on the vine (or cherry tomatoes on the vine)
-1/3 cup Italian extra virgin olive oil
-1 lemon
-1 tablespoon Tuscan Italian white wine vinegar
-2 ripe avocados
