AVOCADO, MOZZARELLA AND OLIVE SALAD
This very tasty and easy salad is out of a Bon Appetit and I think it originated in a London restaurant. Whatever, it is very, very good and goes well with rice dishes. Enjoy.

Light and summery and fresh and AMAZING! This is a California variation on the traditional Caprese salad that is so easy and to die for! Best when using fresh and ripe ingredients, for instance your own garden or a farmer's market. Ratio of the ingredients is hard to mess up, very flexible recipe with room for personal taste variations.

AVOCADO & MOZZARELLA SALAD WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO DRESSING
This makes a refreshing meal, served with a loaf of crusty french bread and good bottle of red wine; could also be used as a first course, in reduced quantities. I recommend using the finger-tip sized fresh mozzarella balls if you can find them. Which salad greens you use are up to you, but a combination half dark green leaf/half alfalfa sprouts seems to work particularly well, and is also quite attractive. I'd never eaten alfalfa sprouts before trying this recipe but was a quick convert to their clean, spicy flavor.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: For the creamiest, most flavorful salad, use ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh mozzarella: Fresh mozzarella adds a delicate, milky flavor to the salad. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella, as it doesn't melt as well.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them.
- Use a variety of olives: Using a variety of olives, such as black olives, green olives, and Kalamata olives, adds a complex flavor and texture to the salad.
- Serve immediately: Avocado salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made, as the avocado will start to brown over time.
Conclusion:
Avocado, mozzarella, and olive salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salad more creamy or tangy, or you want to add some extra vegetables, this salad is a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
