3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic (pressed or grated)
1/2 tsp fine sea salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper

Assemble Salad: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, avocado, and fresh basil.

Add dressing right before serving to keep ingredients fresh and vibrant.
Use ripe but firm avocado to prevent mushiness.
Swap balsamic vinegar with lemon juice for a lighter flavor.
Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
