I love eating salads for lunch several times a week. However, I don’t want a boring salad, I want something with flavor and pizzazz. Thankfully, I have several tasty salads to make that all have lots of flavor and texture.
That’s where my avocado Caprese salad shines. It’s anything but boring, and I am always happy to eat it. Even the kids can’t resist the incredible way it tastes, and it’s texture. It’s packed with light and refreshing ingredients, so it’s impossible not to enjoy it.
The star of this dish is the fresh mozzarella. This is not an ingredient you’ll want to skimp on. I highly suggest getting your hands on the best quality mozzarella you can find. My favorite brand is Fresh mozzarella. Their products are all-natural with no whiteners or preservatives added and are all crafted in the fior di latte tradition. The result is fresh delicious Mozzarella that tastes like it came straight from Italy!
