Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 oz (225g) mini mozzarella balls (bocconcini), drained
- 2 medium (340g) ripe avocados, cubed
- ½ cup (15g) fresh basil leaves, chiffonade or torn
- 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp (30ml) balsamic glaze
- ½ tsp (3g) sea salt
- ¼ tsp (1g) freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions:
- Wash the cherry tomatoes and halve them lengthwise.
- Dice the avocados into ¾ inch cubes, ensuring they are firm enough to hold their shape.
- Slice the fresh basil into thin ribbons (chiffonade).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
- Place the tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and avocado cubes into a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the ingredients and fold together gently using a rubber spatula or large spoon until coated in a mahogany-colored sheen; do not over-mix.
- Fold in the fresh basil at the very last second to prevent bruising.
