  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 ounces shaved Parmesan

Instructions

  • Put the halved tomatoes, chopped arugula, diced red onion, basil leaves, and avocado chunks into a large mixing bowl.

Notes

You can prep the dressing early if you want to, just wait until right before you serve the tomato salad to dress it.
