How to cook it

Prep timer

10:00
  1. Prep and chill the ingredients before assembling so the finished dish stays crisp and cold.
  2. 1. Slice the avocado horizontally across the middle to create rings, remove the skin from the stone-free half, and cut into four rounds; carefully remove the stone from the other half and repeat.
  3. 2. Cut the mozzarella ball into 8 rounds and slice the tomato horizontally into 4 slices.
  4. 3. Build stacks on each tomato slice by alternating mozzarella and avocado rounds, starting with the largest pieces.
  5. 4. Transfer the stacks to two serving plates, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, season generously with black pepper, and garnish with sliced fresh basil.
  6. Taste before serving and adjust the salt, lemon, vinegar, or herbs so the flavors stay bright.
