If Italy had a dress code, this salad would be wearing it!
In all honesty, there’s nothing unexpected about it, just tomatoes, mozzarella, avocado, and cucumbers bathed in a lemon-herb dressing that tastes like afternoons on the Amalfi Coast. It’s colorful, it’s ridiculously easy to make, and it proves that you don’t really need a long ingredient list to make an unforgettable salad.
Take notes. Dress code: Italy. Unpretentious and yummy.
