Course: Main Course
Servings: 4 (click to scale)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 ounce fresh mozzarella diced
  • 8 ounce fresh grape tomatoes sliced in half
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare balsamic vinegar reduction: Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until volume reduces by half.
  • Cut avocados in half. Discard pits. (DO NOT PEEL. Leave skin intact.) Cut a sliver of the skin off of the bottom of each half so that avocados sit flat, instead of tilting once they are stuffed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, canola oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Brush avocados with oil and lime juice mixture. Chill avocados.
  • In a medium sized bowl, toss mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil with olive oil and remaining salt and pepper.
  • In each avocado half, place 1/2 cup caprese salad mixture. Drizzle each 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar reduction.
