Ingredients: Makes 4 servings
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 whole avocados
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/8 + 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 + 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced
8 ounce grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1/4 cup basil, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

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 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.

Serving Size:
