Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 large crisp cucumber, thinly sliced (skin on)
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced or cubed
  • 150g mozzarella (plant-based), sliced or cubed
  • Fresh basil leaves, a handful

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry the tomatoes and cucumbers thoroughly. Cut the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and slice the cucumbers thinly, keeping the skin on for texture and nutrients.
  2. Slice the Avocado and Mozzarella (plant-based): Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into cubes or thin slices as preferred. Cut the mozzarella (plant-based) into small, manageable pieces that blend well with the vegetables.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar (natural), extra virgin olive oil (natural), a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to your taste.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss the tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, mozzarella (plant-based), and fresh basil leaves. Pour the dressing over and mix carefully to coat all ingredients without mashing the avocado.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the salad right after tossing to enjoy its vibrant colors and fresh flavors at their peak.

Notes

  • Use ripe produce for the best flavor.
  • Slice all ingredients evenly for balanced bites.
  • Toss gently with dressing to keep avocado creamy and intact.
  • Add basil leaves last to preserve their bright flavor.
  • Chill briefly before serving for a refreshing experience if desired.
