Avocados are a staple in the healthy snack world, and for good reason – they’re packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. We love adding these bruschetta stuffed avocados into the rotation as soon as fresh local tomatoes become available. The bruschetta stuffing lasts in the fridge for several days, so they make for a quick and easy midday or post-workout snack.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, and mozzarella in a large bowl. Toss until combined. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then toss once more.
Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Score the avocados in a grid pattern using a paring knife, being sure not to slice through the skin.
Stuff each avocado with a large scoop of bruschetta, then drizzle with aged balsamic if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: the bruschetta can be made in advance and stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Wait to prepare the avocados until you're ready to serve to prevent browning.
Score the avocado in a grid pattern for easy eating.
Choose firm, ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
