| Caprese Salad w/ avocado |
"Caprese salad (Italian: Insalata Caprese [insaˈlaːta kaˈpreːze], meaning "Salad of Capri") is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella (ideally Buffalo mozzarella), tomatoes, and green basil, seasoned with salt and olive oil." What that says to me is, the basic ingredients are mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and olive oil, be creative and add other delicious, fresh ingredients to create a large variety of tasty salads--Be creative & eat delicious!
