Who doesn’t love the summery flavors bursting from a caprese salad? I know I do! If you are serving someone who is following a vegan or dairy-free diet, this version works perfectly. Simply substitute the typical mozzarella with fresh avocado. Try finding different brightly colored tomatoes at local farmers’ markets or grow your own. Happy Summer!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh assorted grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, pitted and diced
- 1 bunch fresh basil, torn
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Arrange basil leaves on the bottom of a large plate. Top with tomatoes and avocado, then lemon juice and salt & pepper. Serve immediately.
