Spring Caprese Salad with a Lemon Basil Dressing
Perfect for a packed lunch or to throw together for a picnic with pals! (and fruity cider)
I've taken the conventional Caprese Salad and added a few extras to make it even tastier. Did you know it was given this name because it is the colours of the Italian flag? I didn't. Eating and learning :)
What You'll Need //
1 avocado
1 mozzarella ball
Handful baby plum tomatoes
Mixed salad leaves
Basil leaves or dried
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
Method
Slice your mozzarella, avocado & tomatoes and pile on top of your salad leaves.
For the tangy dressing - If you are using basil leaves then finely chop them. Simply mix together your remaining ingredients and drizzle over your salad.
The world's easy peasiest salad and what a scrumptious summery one it is too.
Enjoy you lovely people!
If you missed it - I'm hosting a giveaway of goodies over here

I'm pretty sure I could just eat mozzerella and avocado for the rest of my life right? It's just so good! Ideal for a bit of spring weather too x

Yummy, I love simple but tasty salads like this and the colours just make it all look even more delicious (I do tend to eat with my eyes as much as anything else!) x

Very true and me too -my eyes tend to act like binoculars but the wrong way round…if that makes any sense, like there never seems to be enough of it…wow. I'm sleepy and am making zero sense. x
