For the best flavor, use high-quality, ripe tomatoes. Heirloom varieties add a beautiful visual appeal and a depth of flavor. Fresh basil can be used, just make sure it is finely chopped. To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice before adding it to the salad. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add a pinch more sugar or a splash more vinegar depending on the sweetness of the tomatoes. This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead of time, add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning.
