Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 large crisp cucumber, diced and well drained
  • 1 ripe avocado, cubed
  • 150g mozzarella (plant-based) cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  2. Cube the avocado and mozzarella (plant-based): Carefully slice the avocado and mozzarella (plant-based) into chunks similar in size to the tomatoes and cucumbers to ensure an even mix in every forkful.
  3. Make the dressing (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar (natural), sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  4. Toss gently: In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and mozzarella (plant-based) with torn fresh basil leaves. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss delicately to coat without mashing the avocado.
  5. Serve immediately or chill: This salad tastes freshest when served right away, but you can refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocado to keep creamy texture without mushiness.
  • Drain cucumbers well by salting and resting for 10 minutes before adding to avoid excess water.
  • Cut all ingredients uniformly for balanced bites and appealing presentation.
  • Add basil just before serving to preserve vibrant flavor and color.
  • Adjust acidity of dressing by modifying lemon juice or apple cider vinegar according to taste.
