Insalata Guacamole

There is nothing I love more in the summer time than a nice tomato and bocconcini salad. But since I have been on an avocado kick lately I was inspired to combine the fresh flavours of that very salad with those of my Chop Chop Guacamole recipe...voila my new favourite summer lunch! 
Give it a try!
