Perfect summer tomato salad

This year my brother has become the official cherry tomato king of our family. He planted them on his balcony, then shared a few stems with my parents, and now their garden is overflowing with cute little red and yellow produce. I can't even remember when was the last time I ate this many tomatoes in just two weeks. I've been constantly trying to come up with new, original recipes (like this one), as to avoid one huge tomato rut. This salad is pure perfection, combining all my favorite summer flavors: tomato, mozzarella, smoked salmon and pesto. What I really love about this recipe is that you don't need to pay any special attention to quantities: you just toss together as many ingredients as you wish and enjoy.

You'll need (serves 2):

* Cherry tomatoes (as many as you can eat :)

* 1 ripe avocado

* Mozzarella pearls

*  Pesto (find my homemade recipe here)

* Smoked salmon

1. Cut cherry tomatoes in halves.

2. Put them in a bowl with mozzarella pearls, then add 1 tbsp of pesto and combine. 

3. Cut avocado in cubes, smoked salmon in slices and add to the salad.

4. Serve with fresh baguette.

They really don't make them easier than this!

Bon appétit!
