Today’s Fusion Creation: Mango Avocado Caprese Salad

I’m excited to share a unique and refreshing recipe perfect for the summer season: Mango Avocado Caprese Salad. This dish is a fun twist on the classic Italian Caprese salad, incorporating tropical flavors that will surely surprise and delight your taste buds.

To create this flavorful and colorful dish, you will need the following ingredients (approximate weights provided):

  • ripe mango (200g, diced)
  • ripe avocado (150g, diced)
  • fresh mozzarella (200g, sliced)
  • cherry tomatoes (150g, halved)
  • fresh basil leaves
  • balsamic glaze
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper

In terms of kitchen tools, you will need:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • serving platter

Start by dicing the ripe mango and avocado into bite-sized pieces. Slice the fresh mozzarella into rounds and halve the cherry tomatoes. Arrange the mango, avocado, mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes on a serving platter in a visually appealing pattern.

Next, tuck fresh basil leaves in between the layers of mango, avocado, and mozzarella. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

The total weight of the Mango Avocado Caprese Salad once assembled is approximately 700 grams. This dish serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 175 grams. One serving of this salad is approximately 250 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or almonds on top for added crunch and nuttiness. This extra layer of texture will take this dish to the next level and surprise your guests with a delightful twist.

I encourage you to give this Mango Avocado Caprese Salad a try and make it your own by adding your favorite ingredients or flavors. Enjoy this fusion creation and savor the delicious combination of tropical and classic flavors!
