This Avocado Caprese Salad is the perfect simple salad for when tomatoes are at the height of the season.
Fresh juicy tomatoes play well with creamy fresh mozzarella. A splash of balsamic vinegar brings everything together with a zippy, refreshing punch. While it tips its hat to a classic Caprese Salad, I've made this Caprese salad keto by adding avocado, which helps to balance out the macros. Give it a try, and you will be hooked.
