Creamy Avocado Twist: Irresistible Caprese Salad Recipe

Today’s Healthy Eating Recipe: Avocado Caprese Salad

Hey there, lovely readers! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for warm summer days when you want something fresh, flavorful, and healthy. I often find myself craving the classic Caprese salad, but I wanted to put a unique spin on it by adding creamy avocado for an extra boost of nutrition and taste.

For this Avocado Caprese Salad, you’ll need:

• knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl

Here are the ingredients you’ll need with approximate weights:
– 2 ripe avocados (300g)
– 2 large tomatoes (400g)
– 1 ball of fresh mozzarella cheese (200g)
– 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (10g)
– 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (30ml)
– Salt and pepper to taste

Start by slicing the avocados, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese into equal-sized rounds. Arrange them in an alternating pattern in a mixing bowl. Tear the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the top.

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the avocado, tomato, and mozzarella slices. Gently toss everything together to ensure all the ingredients are coated evenly.

The combination of creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and milky mozzarella creates a delightful texture and flavor profile. The balsamic dressing adds a tangy sweetness that ties everything together beautifully.

Once everything is well mixed, let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad is best served fresh when the ingredients are at their peak flavor.

This Avocado Caprese Salad weighs approximately 910g in total, with 4 servings at around 227g each. Each serving is roughly 250 calories, making it a satisfying and nutritious meal option.

One tip to make this salad even more delicious is to sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or pumpkin seeds on top for extra crunch and nutrients. It adds a lovely nutty flavor that complements the creaminess of the avocado and richness of the mozzarella.

I encourage you to give this Avocado Caprese Salad a try and feel free to customize it to your liking. Whether you add extra herbs, swap out the balsamic for a different dressing, or include additional vegetables, make it your own and enjoy a tasty and healthy dish!
