Tomato, Mozzarella, and Avocado Salad

Source of Recipe

From "Scratch" by Maria Rodale


Recipe Introduction

"We often think of tomatoes as a summer pleasure, but in reality they are a late-summer pleasure. And just as they are ripening, so are avocados. I've taken these seasonal partners and combined them for my version of the ubiquitous tomato and mozzarella salad. To me it's like the last tastes and textures of summer — sweet, savory, and soft."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
â—¦ 2 large tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
â—¦ 1 avocado, sliced
â—¦ ¼ cup good quality extra-virgin olive oil
â—¦ Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Arrange the mozzarella slices in a single layer on a serving plate.

Layer the tomato slices over the cheese and top with the avocado slices.

Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

Serves 4


• Tip:
I often like to top this salad with chopped fresh herbs (such as basil), thinly sliced red onion, and micro greens.
