1. Lightning Avocado Caprese Cups

Save

This is Caprese’s cool keto cousin. Creamy avocado stands in for bread, so you get all the basil-tomato-mozz magic without the carb crash.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium avocado, halved and pitted
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

• 6 fresh basil leaves, torn
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional; small splash)
• Pinch salt and black pepper

2. Toss tomatoes, mozzarella, diced avocado, basil, oil, and balsamic with salt and pepper.
3. Fill each avocado half and devour immediately.

Drizzle extra olive oil if you want more fat. Swap mozzarella for burrata when you feel fancy—IMO, totally worth it.
