Ingredients:

1 cucumber
300g
15 cherry tomatoes
260g
1/2 avocado
100g
1/2 tbsp basil
2.65g
1/2 cup low moisture mozzarella cheese
63g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash the cucumber and cherry tomatoes thoroughly.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds. If the cucumber has a thick skin, you may peel it before slicing.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado.
2. Mix the Salad Base:
- In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, cherry tomato, and avocado.
- Add the low-moisture mozzarella cheese to the bowl. If you're using mozzarella balls, you can leave them whole or halve them, depending on your preference.
- Finely chop the fresh basil and sprinkle it over the salad mixture.
3. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl or a jar, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. If using a jar, you can seal the lid and shake it vigorously.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl.
- Toss everything gently with a spoon or salad tongs to ensure even distribution of the dressing.
5. Seasoning:
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate.
- Garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste. This salad is a delicious, refreshing dish perfect for a light lunch or a side salad for your main meals.

Tips:

- Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly thin cucumber slices.

- Choose ripe but firm avocado to ensure it holds its shape in the salad.

- Freshly ground black pepper will enhance the flavors even more.

- Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes after mixing for the flavors to meld together.

- If you have it, use fresh basil leaves instead of dried for a more vibrant taste.
