I said "mmm" through every single bite. Juicy, garden-fresh yellow and red tomatoes, buttery avocado, and buffalo mozzarella gets christened with olive oil, cracked pepper, and everything seasoning. Then some rained-down torn cilantro leaves. This salad is mildly zesty and refreshing at the same time. Choose ingredients at the height of ripeness--this salad will sing.
"Nothing says summer-fresh like this salad. It's best to serve right after making it, because although the tomatoes provide some acid, there isn't lemon or lime to prevent the avocado from oxidizing after an hour or so. Make it, serve it."
Notes: Olive oil is extra-virgin.
