Twist on the classic Caprese Salad

Recently, I have been trying to make a lots of salads and I keep looking for new ways of making them, to spruce up my lunch. This is a very simple salad, takes 5 mins to rustle this up. Its very rustic, have it with a chunk of bread if you want to make a big meal of it. I had it just like that :-)








Here is what you need,if you want to try it:

• A large juicy tomato
• a few baby basil leave
• fresh mozzarella cheese ball
• half an avocado - I like it s little firm, you can get it the way you like it
• half a cucumber
• Olives stuffed with Almonds

Dressing

• Extra virgin Olive Oil
• Balsamic Vinegar
• half a lemon
• Salt to taste
• fresh ground pepper

Prep:

1. Slice up the tomato in thick rings
2. Slice the cheese in discs
3. Slice the cucumber
4. Slice the avocado
5. Tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle them over

Put it all together

Lay the tomato and cheese slices alternately.

arrange the cucumber and avocado slices on the side
Dot the olives around

sprinkle the basil leaves over the salad

drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and squeeze some lemon over to freshen everything up.

Crust some sea salt and fresh pepper. 

Its ready to serve :-) 

Mix the salad up the way you like it, this is how I did, you can mix it up the way you fancy :)
