Ingredients
  

  • 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 medium sized fresh mozzarella balls, sliced
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • Lemon
  • 6 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon balsamic glaze
  • sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Toss the arugula in the olive oil and squeeze of fresh lemon. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with the fresh mozzarella, avocado and tomato. Drizzle the balsamic glaze.
  • Cut the basil in a chiffonade and sprinkle on top.
  • Finish with a dash of salt and pepper.

Notes

Serve immediately because the tomato and avocado will not store well in the fridge.  If you must make it ahead of time, don't dress the salad or cut the avocado until the last minute.  You can then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
