Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup cucumbers, diced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing all your fresh produce thoroughly. Chop the tomatoes and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, slice the avocado, and tear the mozzarella into small pieces.
  2. Make the Basil Pesto: If you’re using store-bought basil pesto, you’re all set! If you’d like to make your own, blend fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Toss the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and mozzarella. Drizzle with basil pesto and gently toss everything together until well coated.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture.
  • Letting the salad sit in the fridge for a bit enhances the flavors.
  • Be gentle when mixing to avoid mashing the avocado.
  • Try different types of pesto for a unique twist.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
