Fresh Veggies and Mozzarella, What Else Do You Need?
Posted on July 24, 2010 by admin
Summer is in full swing and veggies are in season. It’s time to take advantage and make a light, healthy, and delicious salad. The best part about this salad is its simplicity. Lime juice, EVOO, cilantro, S&P, veggies, and cheese. That’s all you’ll need. But, because this recipe is so simple, it’s very important to use RIPE veggies and avocados. Otherwise, the salad will lose a lot of its flavor. Take this salad on your favorite picnic and enjoy!
