Savor the delicious combination of creamy avocados, juicy tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella, all drizzled with balsamic glaze—a perfect dish for your summer celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out some flesh if needed to create space for stuffing.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced cherry tomatoes, halved mozzarella, and torn basil leaves.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss gently until mixed.
  4. Spoon the tomato-mozzarella mixture generously into each avocado half, allowing it to overflow for a delightful presentation.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider substituting mozzarella with feta cheese or adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  •  Use perfectly ripe avocados for optimal creaminess and texture.
