Food: Mozzarella, Tomato and Avocado Salad

Maybe is the good weather, or watching the calories intake, but I have been craving fresh, yummy salads that you can pair it with a good wine and have a simple but luscious al fresco dinner!
And this pearl mozzarella, cherry tomato and avocado salad with basil and lemon had me at the first bite!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
1 container cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 carton fresh mozzarella cheese pearls, drained
1 avocado, peeled and diced
1/3 cup basil, julienned
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
baguette-optional

1. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and parsley. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper. Pour over tomato mixture. Toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
3. Just before serving the salad, stir in the chopped avocados. Serve salad with toasty bread.
... and voila you have a great, fresh salad that you can pair it up with some Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay!!

If you are hosting a party you can serve the salad in kabobs for a fabulous presentation!
