Ingredients
- 2 large Tomato
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 large Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, spinach leaves, and basil thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into thick, even slices (approximately 1/4 inch) and set aside.
Step 3
Peel the cucumber if desired, and slice it into even rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Step 5
Dice the red bell pepper into small cubes and slice the red onion thinly into half-moons.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple dressing.
Step 7
Begin assembling the stacker: Start with a tomato slice as the base, then add a cucumber slice, a dollop of mashed avocado, a few red bell pepper cubes, and a thin slice of red onion.
Step 8
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used or the desired height is reached, finishing with a tomato slice on top.
Step 9
Garnish the top layer with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of the lemon dressing.
Step 10
Arrange the assembled stacker on a bed of baby spinach leaves for presentation. Drizzle the remaining lemon dressing around the spinach as a finishing touch.
Step 11
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors!
