    A simple salad of chopped avocados, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella pearls, tossed with some seasoning and a balsamic glaze. — I had made this over two years ago I think, and recently rediscovered how much I love this salad!  It’s a perfect classy salad when you want to change up the game, or are feeling particularly uninspired by lettuce.  It’s basically a bite-sized caprese salad, but additionally tossed with some avocado.
