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.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup fresh mozzarella balls bocconcini, halved
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil pesto, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined and flavorful.
  • Halve and pit ripe (but firm) avocados. Place them cut-side up on a serving plate.
  • Spoon the tomato-mozzarella mixture into each avocado half, allowing some to spill over naturally.
  • Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with chopped basil. Add whole basil leaves for garnish if desired.
  • Serve immediately while fresh to enjoy the best creamy texture and vibrant flavor.
