Avocado & Tomato Salad + Dijon Vinaigrette

When we get pressed for time there are two options when it comes to eating:

1. Order take-out
2. Make your quick and easy go-to meal

This is my quick and easy go-to salad. The ingredients list is right in my back pocket – making it easy to make a quick trip to the store and throw together. I eat out plenty, but relying on prepared food because you’re short on time can be a slippery slope. I find it helpful when I resort to simple at-home meals instead because I am still dedicating time to my health. My actions are serving a bigger purpose rather than just trying to get by.

This salad falls into the summer category of seasonal produce but allows for many modifications to eat year round!
