Recipe: Avocado, Tomato, and Mozzarella Salad

This salad screams summer for me. It's light, refreshing, and the perfect side dish to make and bring to an event like a potluck. It's super to make and can be made a day in advance and leave it to chill in the refrigerator. A few hours before eating, take out of the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature.
