Avocado Caprese Salad

This avocado caprese salad has all the flavors of a classic caprese salad, plus creamy avocado. The sweet and tangy balsamic dressing pulls everything together, with fresh basil bringing a refreshing pop of color. Add capers for an even bigger flavor.

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  2. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. ½ teaspoon salt
  4. ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  5. 1 ½ cups multicolored cherry tomatoes, halved
  6. 2 ripe medium avocados, diced
  7. 4 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls
  8. 1 tablespoon drained capers (optional)
  9. ½ cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. Whisk vinegar, oil, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Combine tomatoes, avocados, mozzarella and capers (if using) in a large bowl. Add the dressing and basil; toss to coat.
