Tomato Avocado and Artichoke Salad

I wanted a salad to go with last night's left overs, and I was out of greens. So I made a Tomato Avocado and Artichoke Salad for our second kitchen renovation dinner.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2" chunks
  
• 1 avocado, cut into 1/2" chunks
  
• 6 ounces marinated artichokes, cut into pieces (maybe 10 - 12 pieces)
  
• 1 roasted red pepper, cut into 1/2" chunks
• 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, cut in thin slices
• 2 or 3 stems of green onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon honey
• optional - 1 tablespoon marinade from artichokes
  

Instructions:

1. Add the the basil and green onion to a medium bowl. Stir together.
2. Add the tomatoes, avocado, artichokes, bell peppers, and cheese to a medium bowl. Gently fold together.
3. Mix the oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and marinade together to blend in honey.
4. Pour over the salad, and gently fold together.
   

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! The salad was tasty, and helped freshen up our dinner. (I liked all the ingredients, but especially the fresh basil.)
