Delicious No Bake Pesto Caprese Stuffed Avocados – Perfect Appetizer!

Ingredients

  • Large ripe avocados
  • Pesto
  • Fresh mozzarella (bocconcini or ciliegine)
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Balsamic glaze
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves gently to separate them. Remove the pit and scoop out some of the avocado flesh, leaving about a 1/4 to 1/2-inch border.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add your halved cherry or grape tomatoes. If using bocconcini or ciliegine, quarter or halve them as appropriate and add them to the bowl.
  3. Add the diced avocado flesh to the bowl with the tomatoes and mozzarella. Spoon in your pesto, starting with about 2-3 tablespoons, and gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined.
  4. Taste the mixture and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the pesto if you’d like a stronger flavor.
  5. Carefully spoon the pesto Caprese mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado halves, mounding the filling slightly over the top.
  6. Arrange the stuffed avocados on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
