¼ cup fresh basil, sliced into thin ribbons
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic reduction
Sea salt, to taste

Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes, then slice them in halves if desired.
In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and diced avocado.
Add the fresh basil ribbons and gently toss to combine.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic reduction.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss lightly to avoid smashing the avocado.

Use ripe but firm avocado to keep the cubes intact.
Add the avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
You can substitute balsamic glaze if reduction is unavailable.
