Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella pearls
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt
  • black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. **Halve.** Cut avocados in half, remove pits. Brush cut sides with lemon juice.
  2. **Toss.** Combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, torn basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. **Fill.** Scoop the tomato mozzarella mixture generously into the avocado hollows.
  4. **Drizzle.** Finish with balsamic glaze.
  5. **Salt.** Sprinkle flaky sea salt and cracked pepper over the tops.
  6. **Serve.** Serve immediately while the avocado is bright green.

Notes

Use perfectly ripe avocados. Hard avocados are bland, mushy ones fall apart. Vegan swap: use vegan mozzarella pearls. The rest is naturally plant based. Best eaten immediately. Avocado browns fast.
