Caprese Tropical Avocado Salad


This recipe for Caprese Tropical Avocado Salad is sponsored by Desbry, a member of The Produce Moms’ family of partners.
Caprese salad is a classic Italian dish made with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. This beloved salad often makes an appearance at parties and get-togethers, sometimes in its classic form and sometimes with a twist — like on skewers or turned into a pasta salad.
This recipe is another take on Caprese salad. The traditional caprese ingredients are all placed on top of thick slices of tropical avocado. Then, everything is drizzled with a rich balsamic glaze.
They have a smooth skin that stays bright green even when they’re ripe. And while you can find them at your local grocery store year-round, you’ll find that they have the best flavor and quality from mid-October through mid-May.


Ingredients
- 1 Desbry Tropical Avocado sliced
- 1/2 cup snacking tomatoes

Instructions
- Drizzle the tropical avocado slices with olive oil and add salt to taste. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Add snacking tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and red onion on top of avocado slices. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
