Super Chunky Salad – Italian Style

Step 1: Prepare Tomatoes

Take the cherry tomatoes (Symphony tomatoes) and cut about half of them in half. Leave the other half whole. Set aside.

Step 2: Slice Cucumbers

Cut the ends off the mini cucumbers (Cetrioio), then slice them into small, crunchy rounds. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare Avocado

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist to open. Carefully strike the pit with a knife and twist to remove it. Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon and slice it into chunks. Remove any brown spots if present. Set aside.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, followed by the cherry tomatoes (both whole and halved). Then, add the mozzarella balls (Ciliegine) without cutting them. Finally, add the avocado chunks.

Step 5: Add Dressing and Toss

Pour your favorite balsamic dressing over all the ingredients in the bowl. Gently toss the salad with a spoon and fork, ensuring all ingredients are well coated without mashing the avocado.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

Serve the Super Chunky Salad in individual bowls. Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over each serving for a touch of sweetness. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!

• Be gentle when mixing the salad to prevent mashing the avocado.

• Leave the mozzarella balls whole for a fun eating experience.

• Adjust the amount of balsamic dressing and glaze to your taste.

• Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a non-vegetarian option.

• Include red onion or bell peppers for extra flavor and crunch.
