Begin by washing and slicing your cucumber into thin rounds, ensuring they’re uniform for a pleasing presentation.

In a large serving bowl, combine the sliced cucumber with halved cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella balls, and diced avocado.

Gently fold in freshly torn basil leaves, creating a colorful and vibrant base that’s visually appealing.

In a separate small bowl, measure out the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add in minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked pepper.

Use a whisk or fork to vigorously mix the dressing until it’s well emulsified and slightly thickened, releasing all the lovely aromatic flavors.

Just before serving, drizzle the freshly made dressing over the salad mixture in the bowl.

Carefully toss all the ingredients together to ensure every cucumber slice and mozzarella ball is evenly coated.

Once dressed, serve the Easy Cucumber Mozzarella Salad immediately to retain the fresh crunch of the vegetables.
