Ingredients
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced (or 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved)
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced or torn (bocconcini or ciliegine also work)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, whole or torn
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Arrange the tomato slices, avocado, and mozzarella on a serving platter, alternating them for a colorful display.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves over the salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
- Serve immediately while the avocado is fresh and vibrant.
Notes
Best served fresh since avocado browns quickly.
Cherry tomatoes can be used for convenience and sweetness.
Lemon juice can replace balsamic vinegar for a brighter flavor.
Add toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds for extra texture.
Protein options like grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas can turn it into a full meal.
