How to Make Avocado Tomato And Mozzarella Salad

  1. Cut 1 ripe avocado in half lengthwise, around the pit.
  2. Twist the halves apart and remove the pit by carefully whacking it with a knife and twisting.
  3. Holding one avocado half in your hand, slice lengthwise, being careful not to cut through the skin.
  4. Slice crosswise to create a ½ inch dice.
  5. Scoop the diced avocado into a medium-sized bowl using a spoon. Repeat with the other half.
  6. Dice 1 medium tomato into ½ inch pieces.
  7. Dice 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese into ½ inch pieces.
  8. Add the diced tomato and mozzarella to the bowl with the avocado and gently toss to combine.
  9. Separate about 1 cup of fresh basil leaves from their stems.
  10. Stack the basil leaves neatly and roll them up lengthwise.
  11. Slice the rolled basil thinly and sprinkle over the avocado mixture.
  12. Toss gently to combine. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  14. Serve chilled and enjoy!
