  • cipollini onion
  • purple tomatillos
  • teardrop-shaped cherry tomatoes
Thin-slice the cipollini onion into a bowl; cut husked purple tomatillos into eighths; quarter the cherry tomatoes; use about equal portions of onion and tomatillo.

  • cilantro
  • 2 tbsp fruity vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • salt

Put three roasted garlic cloves and cilantro leaves in the food processor with the vinegar, the olive oil, salt and black pepper; puree until really smooth.
Toss about half the vinaigrette with the onion, tomatillo and cherry tomato mixture; reserve the rest.
  • avocado
  • herbs
When guests arrive, sprinkle diced avocado over the sliced tomatoes, pile the marinated mixture in the centre, spoon the reserved vinaigrette over and strew herbs on top.
