Summery Caprese Salad

Serves: 1
Prep Time 10 minutes
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
  • 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.
