Summery Caprese Salad
Pine nuts, mozzarella, basil and crunchy fresh lettuce in this super satisfying salad.
Ingredients
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- 1/4 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh mozzarella
- 3 ounces cooked protein of choice ex: grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, salmon, tempeh
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
Notes
Because mozzarella naturally contains protein, we only need to use 3 oz. of cooked protein in this meal instead of the usual 4 oz. If you opt for the plant-based mozzarella swaps, you can increase your protein of choice to 4-5 oz to compensate for the lost protein.
