Clean Eating Avocado Caprese Salad

As we all know, the classic Caprese salads contain basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella perfectly sliced and aligned on a plate. In my opinion, even the classics could use a bit of improvement, because change couldn’t hurt. My version: added avocado, cucumber, and a great balsamic dressing!

The added ingredients also add amazing benefits! Cucumber hydrates your body while avocado provides necessary potassium. Also, most of these ingredients are ones that usually are on-hand already.

I hope you’ll love this Caprese salad as much as I do! It’s simple to make and you will love the refreshing taste this recipe has. This healthy clean eating recipe is great as a snack for any time of the day. It’s filled with vitamins and packed with nutrition. Besides that, the basil is rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants, while the tomato contains many heart health benefits.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this Caprese Salad:

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, supporting heart health and helping to prevent sun damage to your skin.

Basil is rich in beta-carotene, which supports eye health.

Mozzarella is filled with calcium and zinc, as well as phosphorus.
