I have been eating this salad for lunch a lot through this pregnancy- and I have found it to be surprisingly filling, very hydrating and (to me anyway) SUPER delicious. So here we go!
You will need...
1 peeled and sliced cucumber, unless you are sure no pesticides have been used on it than keep the peel *
1 tomato
1 ounce of mozzarella, chunked
Balsamic vinegar to taste
Fresh basil to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Drizzle olive oil
Okay, so...
Toss the sliced cucumber in to a bowl along with the tomatoes (also cut in slices) and add some salt and pepper. Then, toss in your fresh basil and mix well. Add that touch of olive oil at this point. Now, put the chopped mozzarella on top and stir in lightly- add the balsamic (just swirl it around once or twice in a very light drizzle, stuff goes a long way) and you are done! This goes great with just about anything honestly. Love this stuff! Super flavorful, packed with good stuff- and pretty light on the calories.
* It can be super hard to wash the pesticides off of cucumber peels- safer to just ditch them! And, at least in this salad, I think tastier too.
That sounds super easy and delicious! I'm going to have to invest in some more balsamic vinegar!
