Instructions

Arrange the tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and avocado on a large plate or bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic reduction, flaky sea salt, and ground black pepper.

Notes

Specialty Ingredients - You'll need a balsamic glaze for this recipe (that's different than regular balsamic vinegar). A balsamic glaze may also be called a balsamic reduction, you should be able to find it in any major grocery store.

Storing Tips - You can store this salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It's actually even better after a day in the refrigerator - it allows the flavors to really come together!

Additions - If you want to make this recipe more of a meal, you can grill a few chicken breasts, cut them into strips, and add them to this salad.
