Caprese salad originated on the island of Capri, Italy, and is a staple of Italian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and bright flavors. The typical Caprese comprises tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, but this version introduces avocado, which adds a rich, creamy texture that complements the other ingredients beautifully. The combination of colors - red, white, and green - represents the Italian flag, making this dish not only a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes. Elevating the original with avocado adds healthy fats, making it a more filling and nutritious option. Whether served as a breakfast, appetizer, or light meal, each bite of this Caprese Salad with Avocado offers a harmonious mix of freshness, creaminess, and a peppery kick that will surely impress your taste buds.
