Breakfast salad with strawberries, avocado, tomato, mozzarella and pomegranate syrup

Eating salads for breakfast is a wonderful thing to try. Rather than eating another typical breakfast meal, salads add a dose of colour and vitality to your morning, ensuring you start your day off with the right move. But not only this, a morning salad is the perfect way to squeeze extra veggies into your diet, helping you to reach your five-a-day. 

This salad combines equal measures of colourful nutrients with satisfying fats and protein to keep you feeling full until your next meal. A fresh mix of lettuce leaves and basil create the base for the salad, the cocktail tomatoes and strawberries add in bursts of sweetness and Mozzarella and a nice ripe avocado brings energy and texture to the dish. It's a combination that will make your tastebuds sing.  

Of course, you can eat this meal at any time of day. But why not give it a try for a weekend breakfast meal that gives back. When I have extra time in my morning, I like to serve this salad with a glass of freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice for a feel-good kick.
