Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Fruits

  • 2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup crisp cucumbers, peeled if desired and sliced or diced
  • 1 large avocado, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Dairy Alternatives

  • 1 cup mozzarella (plant-based), cubed or sliced

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Start by washing the tomatoes and cucumbers thoroughly. Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces to capture their juicy sweetness. Peel the cucumbers if desired, then slice or dice them to maintain a satisfying crunch.
  2. Prepare the Avocado and Mozzarella (Plant-Based): Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cube or slice it gently to keep its creamy texture intact. Cube or slice the mozzarella (plant-based) similarly to complement the texture of the salad.
  3. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and mozzarella (plant-based). Tear fresh basil leaves and add them to infuse the salad with aromatic herbal notes.
  4. Mix the Dressing: Whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (natural) in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste for a balanced, lively dressing.
  5. Toss and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine every ingredient without mashing the avocado or mozzarella (plant-based). Serve immediately for the freshest experience.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes and cucumbers to retain texture and freshness.
  • Handle avocado gently to avoid browning and preserve creaminess.
  • Add fresh basil just before serving to maintain its vibrant flavor.
  • Taste and adjust the acidity of the dressing for perfect balance.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.
