INGREDIENTS:

  • Cucumbers
  • Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
  • Fresh basil 
  • Fresh mozzarella (little balls are best!)
  • Avocado
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper



GOOD!  Perfect side salad for pizza or great on it's own.  Clearly the FULL plate is my husband's.  I do feel better that it is 1/2 salad.  Mine you can tell I'm working on portions - 1/2 salad and 2 pieces of pizza.  Though I will say I'm fuller quicker I still am struggling with wanting to eat A LOT.   I'm definitely getting more veggies and fruits than I EVER have so I'm trying to make sure that they fill up half my plate and most of my tummy.
