Directions:
 |
| Step 1 – Caprese Salad |
- Slice tomatoes and mozzarella cheese in even amounts and spread them on a plate.
- Cut basil leaves into little ribbon-like slices and sprinkle them over the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese
- Slice avocado in medium-thin strips and place on the outskirts of your plate.
- Drizzle both the olive oil and the balsamic vinegar (65% olive oil and 35% balsamic vinegar) over your salad (be sure to drizzle – you don’t want to overdo it – you can always add more later
- Sprinkle sea salt and fresh ground black pepper over your salad, to your liking.
- Adding pita chips to this recipe seals the deal. I spoon the salad onto each individual pita chip…so yummy.
- Optional: Toasted pine nuts can be a great addition. If you choose this route, then make the toasting of your pine nuts your first step.
