Mozzarella, Tomato and Avocado Salad


This is a quick and easy salad that is very delicious! We had it for dinner with grilled chicken, and it's also great on toasted baguette slices as an appetizer. I found the recipe here, and I knew it was a must try!


Ingredients:
1 container cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 carton fresh mozzarella cheese pearls, drained
1 avocado, peeled and diced
1/3 cup basil, julienned
2 tbs fresh parsley
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive
salt and pepper
baguette-optional

Globe Trottin'

I have a thing for globes lately and these are by far the best I have seen! Dr. Seuss quotes on a globe I mean you couldn't ask for anything better.  The artist who creates these lovely works of art is from the Bay Area and her blog shows you the whole process of working with vintage globes and adding recycled material to make each one unique.  Ah I want to be her, ok just owning one of her globes would be fine also.
