- 2 large Avocado
- 2 large Tomatoes
- 8 oz Fresh mozzarella
- 8 large Basil leaves
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and gently peel off the skin. Slice the flesh into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Cut the tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
On a serving plate, begin assembling the tower by layering one slice of tomato, followed by a slice of mozzarella, then a slice of avocado. Repeat the layers, stacking 3-4 slices of each ingredient per tower.

Drizzle each tower with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a light, refreshing dish!
