Eat Clean: Italian Style Tomato + Avocado Chopped Salad!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 large English cucumber, halved and sliced
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 8 ounces small, fresh mozzarella cheese balls
Dressing:- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Make your dressing in a small bowl, by whisking pesto sauce and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Season to your taste with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
- In a large bowl, arrange all salad ingredients nicely, as shown.
- If you're meal prepping, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the avocado (to prevent it from browning) and refrigerate separately from the dressing.
- Just before serving, pour dressing over the salad, and toss all of your ingredients very gently to combine well.
- This really is best eaten right away, but stays good
