Deb’s Fresh Mozzarella Avocado Salad (a summer favorite)

, 1 Comment

SONY DSCLooks can be deceiving, the picture may not look amazing but the salad tastes AMAZING. I Pretty much made up this salad recipe last summer when I was eating super clean and wanted something healthy and delicious. My sister in law suggested adding cucumbers and that is a delicious addition. The salad requires no cooking so I love that you don’t have to turn the oven or the stove on, on those hot summer days when extra heat is not wanted. This salad is delicious, healthy and refreshing. I hope you like it as much as we do. Enjoy!

Fresh Mozzarella Avocado Salad (a summer favorite)

Ingredients

  • 2 avocados cut into cubes
  • 1/2 pound of fresh mozzarella cut into cubes or fresh mozzarella balls (both of these can be bought at Costco in the specialty cheese section there is a difference between fresh mozzarella and regular mozzarella go for the fresh in this salad)
  • 1 cup mini cucumbers cut into slices or dice up a regular cucumber into bite sized pieces
  • 1 cup of grape tomatoes, or the medley tomatoes (Costco sells these as well in the summer time they are small tomatoes all different colors)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar (from Costco, Kirkland brand is by far my favorite, I included a picture at the bottom of the post)
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or you can use olive oil, I also included a picture of the kind I like)
  • a dash of sea salt
  • a dash of pepper
  • *This recipe doesn't make a whole lot but you want to eat this salad fresh so you only want to make as much as you'll eat or have a small amount of left overs. It will stay good in the fridge for about a day is all.

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
  • This salad is a very clean, healthy, delicious addition to any meal or can be a meal itself. One of my all time favorite salads especially during the summer.

I have had a lot of positive feedback about the blog (thank you for that so so much) through texts or comments or interaction on Facebook etc. and it has made all the time and effort that I have put into the blog worth it. I hope you continue to enjoy it as time goes on. So for today I want to give away two things that I love, that I think you would love. I am going to give away the Nordic Ware popcorn popper and the cheese knife (I included a link to the posts if you want to read about the items). These are two of my favorites that have seemed to become popular among you. So here’s what you do to enter (see below) and then in a week exactly (June 5th) I’ll pick 2 random winners. I hope that gets you all giddy and excited because I am giddy and excited just thinking about it. Okay so here’s how you enter:
