Since it was well received by our hosts, I thought I&#8217;d document it.(Repeated uses of the word <cite>organic<\/cite> are a tongue-in-cheek nod to the fact that absolutely everything in the Tomales area seemed to be organic.

Crush the garlic clove with a pinch of salt and mix it into the balsamic vinegar. Let it infuse for about five minutes before adding a few twists of ground rainbow pepper and the olive oil. Shake it together to blend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> Put the leaves in a suitable salad bowl. Cut each tomato into eight segments lengthwise and add them to the leaves. Cut each avocado in half and remove the stones. Using a dessert spoon, scoop out relatively fine, roughly half-moon-shaped pieces and add these to the salad bowl. (Don&#8217;t do this too far ahead of time &#8216;cos it&#8217;ll discolour.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> Immediately before serving, remix the dressing and dress the salad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"bodytext\"> <a href=\"pdf\/TomalesSalad.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nGet a pdf version of this recipe<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This mixture became one of our staples while house-sitting for a friend in Tomales, California, hence the name.
