Stuffed Avocados seem kind of weird at first, but it totally makes sense. They are like natures little individual containers. And scooping the avocado straight out of the skin ensures freshness.
Caprese salad is just tasty and pairs perfectly with buttery avocado.
Ingredients Needed For Caprese Stuffed Avocados {screenshot for grocery list}
- 4 large avocados, halved and pitted
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 cup mozzarella pearls
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Ingredient Options:
- Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes or Roma tomatoes can be used. If using Roma tomatoes choose the firmest ones, remove the soft center and seeds (otherwise it will be very mushy), and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- You can use balsamic glaze which is thicker and a bit sweeter.
