Green Bliss: Green pea and avocado salad with mozzarella

You prepared a fantastic meal, but you have no inspiration for a great salad? Craving for a refreshing yet rich salad for dinner? In both of these scenarios, it’s the Green Bliss, aka sweet pea and avocado salad with mozzarella to the rescue!

Gotta love wholemeal salads. They are usually easy to make and healthy-nutrition friendly. This one definitely checks the simplicity, delicious and wellness boxes, so if you’re looking for ways to incorporate more greens into your diet, give Green Bliss a go.

The recipe is super-simple and adjustable to taste. In practice, this means you can add even more raw veggies, such as carrots or iceberg salad for a crunchy element. If I am making it in the spring, a handful of wild garlic (one of my favourite green delights) is a must. Substituting sweet peas with edamame, for example, or even string bean is an option.

Whether you’re sticking to the ingredient list below or experimenting, green pea and avocado salad with mozzarella will hit the spot. Serve it as a side with these stunning Baked sweet potato boats with black bean & tomato stuffing for lunch or with healthy, crunchy spelt crackers for a perfect dinner.
