Avocado Caprese salad is one of the easiest and most refreshing side dishes you can serve with any meal, especially topped with a tangy balsamic glaze.
Heat vinegar and sugar in a small pan over medium heat, whisking to dissolve sugar.
Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
Let simmer, stirring occasionally until vinegar has reduced and sauce coats a spoon when dipped into it (about 15 minutes). Remove from stovetop and let cool for 1 minute, but not longer (sauce thickens as it cools).
While vinegar is cooking down, prepare salad by layering a slice of tomato, a basil leaf, a slice of mozzarella, and then a slice of avocado on a round plate, starting at the outer most portion of the plate.
Repeat, overlapping each layer until plate is full and you are out of ingredients.
Drizzle olive oil over salad. Follow with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you're in a time crunch, use store bought glaze like this Trader Joe's balsamic glaze that allows you to skip that step.
