My ‘Caprese’ Salad

June 13, 2017 Leave a Comment

Sometimes the simplest salads are the best and I love the concept of the ‘caprese’ salad with it’s red, white and green colours. Usually with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil I’ve taken a liberty and used my own red, white and green ingredients to hand in the bariatriccookery kitchen today – so we have the white mozzarella (a whole sliced one but you can use small balls if preferred); red sliced strawberries; and green avocado (scooped into balls but slice or chop as the mood takes you). All it needs is a drizzle of balsamic dressing/glaze (I used a Waitrose version but you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar to a sticky glaze). 

 

This is summer living and loving … just as I like it ….
