I found this recipe on Pinterest a few months ago and I put on my list of recipes that I wanted to make. I had decided that this would be perfect with fresh tomatoes from the garden, so I have been waiting and waiting. But this week we finally had tomatoes that were ripe enough to pick.
This recipe came to mind, I put avocados and mozzarella on the shopping list, so I was sure to have everything to make this salad. I made this salad the other evening for dinner and it was as delicious as I thought it would be.
It is always nice to find a side dish that has great flavor and that is healthy as well. The salad is probably best to eat right after making it, but I ate the left overs for a couple of days. The avocado will get a little mushy after it sits in the refrigerate, but the flavor is still delicious.

Pepper to taste

Add the avocados, tomatoes, mozzarella, and onion to a medium bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and add the basil, garlic salt, and pepper. Toss lightly and serve.
This is my kind of salad too. So fresh and delicious.
The avocados are such a fun way to dress up caprese!
Very refreshing salad and I love avocado!

Hi Dawn, very refreshing salad, lovely combination.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Great combo of flavor. I make tomato and mozzarella salads all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever included avocado – terrific idea! Thanks.
Sounds heavenly to me! I have a gigantic heirloom tomato to use, and your salad looks like the perfect solution! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday weekend, Dawn!
I love this avocado salad, so flavourful with the tomatoes and cheese!
I just happen to have all of the ingredients for this salad. YUM!
