Tomato Mozzarella Avocado Salad: Healthy Side Dish Recipe

I’ve always kept the ingredients handy to make this quick side dish, on any night of the week. It’s by FAR, my favorite side dish to whip up, when I’m in a hurry & looking for something on the healthy side.

I’m sure there are MANY versions of a caprese salad recipe out there, but over time, I’ve added ingredients… taken away ingredients… and have played with it, until I’ve gotten it RIGHT where I want it.  Could you switch up the ingredients?

You bet.  This recipe is VERY forgiving.

It’s one of my favorites, and staple weeknight recipes.  I hope you give it a try and love it too!

Until next time,
