Instructions

In a bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, basil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together and set aside.
Arrange the halved avocados on a plate, cut side up. Spoon the Caprese mixture into the center of each avocado half. If necessary, scoop out a little of the avocado flesh to make room for more of the filling.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados and sprinkle with extra chopped basil for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
