Caprese Salad

This is a family favorite! My mom has been making it for years and we all love it! It is light, fresh, and the flavor just bursts in your mouth! Crazy Good!


INGREDIENTS:


1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly

5 to 6 small vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced thinly

1/2 small cucumber, slices and halved

1 avocado, sliced thinly

1 bunch fresh basil

3 Tbsp virgin olive oil

3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 Tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Sprinkle Feta cheese over the top, optional



HOW TO:


Slice the first 5 ingredients above and spread over the serving dish. Then mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Shake well and right before you are ready to serve, pour it over the top of the salad. Sprinkle a little feta on top if desired and ENJOY!
