Description
These fresh Caprese stuffed avocados are the perfect no-cook summer appetizer—creamy avocados filled with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, topped with a tangy balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Avocado:
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
Caprese Filling:
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Dressing:
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Scoop Avocados:
Scoop out a small portion of flesh from each avocado half to create space for filling.
Make Caprese Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, halved mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine.
Fill Avocados:
Spoon the Caprese mixture evenly into each avocado half.
Finish with Balsamic:
Drizzle each stuffed avocado with balsamic glaze just before serving.
Serve:
Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
Add pine nuts or a spoonful of pesto for a flavor boost.
Make it dairy-free by using plant-based mozzarella or omitting the cheese.
These are best enjoyed fresh, as avocados can brown quickly.
Great for low-carb, gluten-free, and vegetarian diets.
