Ingredients
- 4 ripe avocados, halved, pitted
- 200 g cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 200 g fresh mozzarella, diced
- 15 leaves fresh basil, torn
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
The Mashup That Works
Some food combos sound weird on paper but absolutely sing on the plate. Caprese salad inside an avocado is one of those — two perfect things that somehow become even more perfect together.
How to Make It
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out a little extra flesh to make room for the filling.
Toss quartered cherry tomatoes with diced mozzarella, torn basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pile into the avocado halves.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Done. Literally that's it.
Tina's Tips
- Squeeze lemon on the avocado first to prevent browning
- Use the best balsamic you can afford — it makes a real difference
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
- This is perfect for a light lunch or as a dinner party starter
