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.
- 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
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.
