Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 loaf/package small baguette or crackers
Instructions
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Gently dice the avocado into small, bite-sized pieces.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Add them to the bowl with the diced avocados.
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl with the avocado and tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic glaze, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the avocado, tomato, and feta mixture. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Slice the baguette into thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick, or arrange crackers on a serving platter.
Spoon the avocado-tomato-feta mixture onto each slice of baguette or cracker. Alternatively, serve the mixture in a bowl with the baguette slices or crackers on the side for dipping.
Garnish with additional basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
