Tomato Basil Avocado Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic Dressing ?


  
          Tomato Basil Avocado Mozzarella Salad with Balsamic Dressing – you’ll love this refreshing, healthy, Mediterranean style salad. Made with fresh ingredients, it’s perfect for the Summer!One of my favorite salad dressings ever is just a simple dressing with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey. It goes really well with these salad ingredients:This salad is perfect as a stand-alone meal if you’re not too hungry, it makes a great appetizer, and it’s also great to bring for cook-outs, picnics, and potlucks.
Ingredients

Salad ingredients:
  • 1/2 pound (2 cups) red grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 pound (2 cups) yellow grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 8 ounces small fresh mozzarella cheese balls
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
Dressing ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey, warmed
  • salt, to taste
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients, except Mozzarella cheese balls. That is, combine halved red and yellow grape or cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped basil. 
  2. In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients: whisk olive oil, balsamic vinegar and honey until nice and smooth.
  3. Add the salad dressing to the large bowl with salad, sprinkle with a small amount of salt, and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. Add Mozzarella cheese balls on top only at this point - so that they don't brown from the dressing.
