Caprese Stuffed Avocados
Creamy, ripe avocados are halved and filled with a vibrant mix of cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil pesto, and garlic olive oil—then finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. A light, refreshing dish perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a post-smoothie savory treat.
