• 1 large Avocado
• 1 large Lemon
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the fresh baby greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the greens.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, slice it into thin rounds, and add to the salad bowl.

Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper, then add it to the salad mix.

Step 5

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Add the avocado to the salad.

Step 6

Cut the burrata balls in half to allow the creamy insides to ooze out slightly. Arrange the burrata halves evenly over the salad.

Step 7

Squeeze the juice of the lemon into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper, whisking until well combined to make the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.

Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top of the salad for an aromatic finish.
