Method
-
1. Prepare the Avocados:
- Slice the ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a bit of flesh from each avocado half to create a small well for the tomato salad.
2. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Tomato Salad:
- In a separate bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced cucumber, diced fresh mozzarella cheese (if using), and chopped fresh basil leaves.
4. Drizzle with Dressing:
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the tomato salad ingredients.
5. Toss Gently:
- Gently toss everything together until the salad is well coated with the dressing.
6. Fill the Avocado Halves:
- Fill each avocado half with a generous portion of the tomato salad mixture.
7. Serve:
- Serve your Tomato Salad-Stuffed Avocados as a delightful appetizer or a light, healthy snack.
Pro Tips- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Make the avocado well slightly larger to hold more of the delicious tomato salad.
- Customize your salad with ingredients like diced red bell pepper or crumbled goat cheese for added flavor.
- Drizzle extra dressing or sprinkle fresh basil just before serving for an extra burst of freshness.
