The ingredients for Cucumber Caprese Salad are:

2 cucumbers
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (about 30)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup fresh mozzarella (I like to use 4 cheese sticks cut up)
1 avocado
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste


*please note: the avocado is not in the nutrition facts. I do not like avocado so do not use it. I left it in the ingredient list for those of you that do.

Here is how you make Cucumber Caprese Salad:

Wash the cucumbers and dry them off. Cut into 1/4-inch slices, then cut those in quarters so you're left with triangular-shaped cucumber pieces. Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them in quarters. Dice the avocado. Place the cukes, tomatoes, avocado, basil, and mozzarella in a bowl. Pour on the oil, vinegar, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Tastes best if served immediately.Serving Size: 4 servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SEESKO.
