Instructions avocado, mozzarella and tomato salad with pesto dressing

  • In a bowl, mix extra virgin olive oil with half a teaspoon of honey and lemon juice. Add half a teaspoon of salt and store bought pesto sauce. If you like the citrus flavor, add lemon zest from half a lemon. Mix well to blend the ingredients and make the sauce free from lumps.
  • Now add the tomatoes cut in half or if they are bigger in quarters. Also add diced ripe avocado and mozzarella balls. Now add torn fresh basil leaves.
  • Mix everything gently so as not to release the juice from the tomatoes. Taste and adjust with more salt or lemon juice if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately with chopped almonds for extra crunch.
