The other weekend, one of my girl friends was coming over for dinner, wine and movie night. Since it was a Friday during the Lenten season, we decided to have a simple soup and salad dinner. I picked up some Lobster Bisque and Broccoli Cheddar soup, but I needed something quick to throw together for the "salad" part. Since I want to have something homemade, I knew it had to be something quick, but still a show stopper.
This has got to be one of my favorite salads. I'm a new lover of avocado, and caprese salads have always been a staple for me. The flavor was so fresh and simple. We both really enjoyed this and I will definitely be making it again soon. Enjoy!
- 1 container cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 carton fresh mozzarella cheese pearls, drained
- 1 avocado, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup basil, julienned
- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Baguette-optional
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and parsley, Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over tomato mixture. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Just before serving the salad, stir in the chopped avocados. Serve salad with slotted spoon and toasty bread.
