Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ pound red cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
  • ½ pound yellow cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • ⅓ cup red onion, diced
  • 8 ounces small fresh mozzarella cheese balls
  • ¼ cup basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine halved red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, diced red onion, and small fresh mozzarella cheese balls.
  2. Add basil pesto and lemon juice to the salad and toss to combine.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use more basil pesto if desired.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm avocados to prevent mushiness. This salad can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours. Substitute feta cheese for mozzarella for a tangy twist.
