Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
On a serving platter, arrange the tomato slices in a circular or linear pattern. (2 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Gently lay one avocado slice atop each tomato slice, creating a beautiful layered effect. (3 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Crown each avocado slice with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even distribution. (2 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Delicately drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the entire arrangement, adding a touch of richness. (1 minute)
05
Step
1 mins
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad in an artistic and controlled manner. (1 minute)
06
Step
1 mins
Season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors. (1 minute)
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of pesto. Use a high-quality balsamic glaze for a sweeter and more intense balsamic flavor. If you can't find balsamic glaze, you can also reduce balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until it thickens into a glaze-like consistency. Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
