Healthy Caprese Salad with Avocado and Balsamic Cream

Whenever I want a light and healthy lunch, my go-to meals are a shrimp salad, cauliflower pizza, or this avocado Caprese salad recipe.

This salad is a low-carb take on the classic Caprese salad and is light, fresh, and accented with the creamy flavors of avocado and mozzarella. Baby spinach leaves are added for extra fiber, and the salad is drizzled with balsamic vinegar cream and olive oil.

Choose ripe avocados, and always use fresh mozzarella for your Caprese salad. You can also add chicken or tuna to boost the protein and make this salad a complete meal. It's also gluten-free, vegetarian, and grain-free with only 2.9 grams of carbs in each serving!

Caprese Salad with Avocado Ingredients

Avocado Caprese Salad with Balsamic Cream Ingredients
  • Avocado - Loaded with healthy fats and adds a deliciously rich flavor and creamy texture to the salad.
  • Baby spinach - These are tender, nutrient-rich greens that provide a healthy base and crunchy texture to the salad.
  • Tomato - Adds a burst of color and juicy sweetness to the salad.
  • Mozzarella - This soft, mild cheese is a traditional Caprese salad ingredient that adds a delicious texture and flavor to the dish.
  • Olive oil - This heart-healthy oil is an excellent source of healthy fats and adds a deliciously smooth texture to the salad. Use extra virgin olive oil for a more mild taste.
  • Balsamic vinegar cream - This tangy, sweet, and savory dressing adds a delicious burst of flavor and richness to the salad.
  • Basil - This fragrant herb is a classic Caprese salad ingredient that adds a refreshing and aromatic flavor.

How To Make Caprese Avocado Salad

  • Prep the salad. Arrange the spinach leaves, tomato slices, avocado slices, and fresh mozzarella cheese in a salad bowl.
  • Add the dressing. Season generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the olive oil and balsamic vinegar cream. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

Storage Instructions

Leftover avocado Caprese salad should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent the avocado from turning brown, squeeze some lemon or lime juice over the avocado before storing it. It's best to keep the dressing separately and drizzle it over the salad just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy. The salad can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
