Think of this as an “Advanced Caprese.” We’ve kept the heart of the Italian classic but added the buttery richness of avocado for a more filling and satisfying texture.

Fresh Ingredients
- 1 Large Avocado (diced)
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Mini Mozzarella Pearls
- 1/4 cup Fresh Basil (chiffonade)
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Glaze
- Pinch of Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
Preparation Steps
- Slice: Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the avocado into roughly the same size as the mozzarella pearls.
- Layer: In a shallow bowl or platter, gently combine the tomatoes, mozzarella, and avocado.
- Season: Drizzle with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Garnish: Scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.
- Finish: Just before serving, drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zig-zag pattern across the salad for that professional restaurant look.
Chef’s Hint: Don’t toss this salad too aggressively! The avocado is delicate and the balsamic glaze looks best when it sits on top rather than being mixed in.
