Why You Will Love This

For most people, getting in the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables can be difficult. I get it. Sometimes vegetables can be bland and boring. Other times they are loaded with so many other unhealthy ingredients that it destroys the benefits of eating them.

This recipe will change all that. We made the simple cucumber taste amazing and still retain the healthy benefits.

This cucumber mozzarella salad with tomato is incredibly delicious AND simple to make. A homemade balsamic dressing adds a slightly sweet and tangy flavor that is both healthy and tasty.

This may just be your go to veggie salad to serve with chicken or simply add to a bed of baby spinach.

Ingredients Needed

One of the great things with this easy cucumber mozzarella salad is that it needs very few ingredients. Just a little chopping and stirring and this can be on your table in minutes.

For the Salad

• Cucumber - Thinly sliced cucumber gives this dish the perfect base.
• Cherry Tomatoes - These go great in small salads.
• Mozzarella Pearls - This light cheese has a great texture and slightly salty flavor that works great in a caprese salad.
• Red Onion - This is probably my favorite onion for a salad because it is not too strong and adds some great color.
• Fresh Basil - Another main ingredient in a caprese salad that adds a fresh flavor.

For the Dressing

• Avocado Oil - This acts as the base of the dressing.
• Balsamic Vinegar - This gives it a sweet tang.
• Garlic - Just a little garlic is a great Italian ingredient for this dressing.
• Honey - This will bring in a little sweetness and balances the vinegar.
• Red Chili Flakes - This is optional, but will add a little heat to balance it all out.
