Basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, sweet cherry tomatoes, avocado, and cucumber – fresh ingredients that make the perfect salad for Spring and Summer. It’s a quick side dish that doesn’t involve much prep at all. I served this salad with grilled chicken and roasted potatoes, but it goes great with just about anything, even on it’s own! We hope you enjoy. Don’t forget to comment below and let us know what you think!
A meal in minutes: serve this salad with –
-
- Trader Joe’s Organic Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage (Whole30 approved!)
- Rotisserie Chicken
- BLT Sandwich
This recipe makes about 2 servings, but feel free to double it to have some easy leftovers. You can make your own Pesto sauce for this, or go the easy route and purchase store bought Pesto sauce. I really like the Trader Joe’s Genoa Pesto. They also have a Vegan one with Kale, Cashew and Basil!
