Alaa's Avocado Salad


This is my mom's recipe for avocado salad. It has been a hit with anyone who's tried it so far. Putting it together is simple and it's a great dish to take to picnics. Thanks Alaa!

Ingredients
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Red onion
  • 1 lemon, or lemon juice
  • 1 pack fresh mozzarella 
  • 1 tomato
  • Fresh basil
  • Canned sun dried tomato
  • Salt and pepper
Directions
  1. Coarsely chop tomato, avocado, and cheese, add to bowl
  2. Thinly slice red onion, add as much as you like
  3. Chop the basil, add to bowl
  4. Add 3-4 chopped sun dried tomatoes
  5. Add 2-3 tbsp. olive oil
  6. Add juice of lemon to bowl
  7. Stir gently to prevent breaking up the avocado
Note: All ingredients can be prepared ahead of time except for avocado. That should be cut and served immediately to prevent browning.
