Eat Clean: Italian Style Tomato + Avocado Chopped Salad!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 1 large English cucumber halved and sliced
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 8 ounces small fresh mozzarella cheese balls

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup basil pesto
  • 2 Tbsps lemon juice
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make your dressing in a small bowl, by whisking pesto sauce and fresh squeezed lemon juice. Season to your taste with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • In a large bowl, arrange all salad ingredients nicely, as shown.
  • If you're meal prepping, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the avocado (to prevent it from browning) and refrigerate separately from the dressing.
  • Just before serving, pour dressing over the salad, and toss all of your ingredients very gently to combine well.
  • This really is best eaten right away, but stays good
