Instructions

Place tomatoes, shallot, avocado in a salad bowl.
In a mason jar, pour the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and black pepper. Whisk everything together until combine.
Taste the dressing to check the seasoning and pour over the salad. Mix all well and enjoy!

Notes

If you do not have shallots, you can swap in finely diced red onions.
Use a high-quality olive oil as the salad is not cooked and you'll taste the difference.
Fresh lemon juice has better flavour than bottled lemon juice.
To store: Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that over time, the avocado will brown from oxidization and the tomatoes will release water so it's best to enjoy this salad immediately.
