This is Capra salad with cucumber cucumbers are full of vitamins and minerals and contain antioxidants they’re low in calories and high in water contents that’ll help you rehydrate after working out slice the Cucumber some people don’t like the Cucumber skin so you can peel the skin
Off if you prefer but the skin contains healthy nutrients so I’m leaving it on slice the tomatoes I’m using a variety named Sweet Temptations put the cucumber and tomatoes off to one side on a plate slice the mozzarella choose fresh mozzarella bowls that are about the same
Size as your tomatoes so you can alternate layers of tomato and mozzarella on the plate my mozzarella is a bit crumbly this time but normally it holds together well and it slices nicely slice half an Avocado arrange the tomatoes cucumber and mozzarella on a plate I’m using the sliced half of an avocado in the center and I’ll add stuffed olives on top later add fresh basil I’m using large basil leaves folded over and tucked under the tomato slices add salt and
Pepper as I said in the other Capra video I like Himalayan salt sprinkled over both the mozzarella and the tomatoes but some brands of mozzarella can be salty already so you don’t want to add more salt on top of that the brand I’m using is not
Salty add micro greens as a garnish I’m using reddish micro greens as they have a beautiful sharp taste drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or just use regular olive oil lastly drizzle the top with either balsamic vinegar or a balsamic glaze I’m using a balsamic honey glaze because that’s my
Favorite enjoy and thanks for watching
