My mother took one bite and bolted towards me, eager to know the recipe

Sometimes, after a long day of work, I crave something light yet satisfying, and that's where these caprese stuffed avocados come into play. Inspired by the classic Italian Caprese salad, this recipe brings together fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and creamy avocado for a delightful meal that’s easy to prepare and perfect for busy weeknights. Trust me, this dish will quickly become one of your go-to favorites for when you want a quick, healthy, and delicious option.
These caprese stuffed avocados are wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed on their own as a light lunch or dinner. For a more substantial meal, pair them with a slice of crusty bread or a side of grilled chicken. A chilled glass of crisp, white wine like Sauvignon Blanc also complements the dish beautifully. If you're hosting a gathering, these make a great appetizer too!
