Ingredients
Scale
2 ripe avocados
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella pearls, halved
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
Scoop out a little bit of the avocado flesh from each half to create more space for the filling. Mash the scooped-out avocado flesh and mix it with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spoon the mashed avocado mixture back into the avocado halves.
In a small bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and chopped basil.
Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture into the avocado halves.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Choose avocados that are ripe but firm.
You can add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
For a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of honey along with the balsamic glaze.
