Caprese stacks

 

Caprese stacks!

Today we share these amazing Caprese stacks.

 This healthy dish is packed with High-fats, fiber and protein.

It is a bit different from the original caprese salad that you are used to from an Italian. I added whole grain pasta and avocado that goes well in combination and gives an extra satiated feeling in the stomach.

It is an easy and great starter to surprise your guests and yourself.

The grilled Coeur de boeuf tomato has a roast flavor, the mozzarella is so soft that its almost melts on your tongue and the avocado together with the pesto makes it so smooth. 

This dish is definitely worth trying!

30 grams

50 grams of parmesan cheese

Preparation:

-Then slice the Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes and the Mozzarella.

           (Tip * don't cut the tomatoes too thin, otherwise they will become too soft when grilling)

-Then you can dice or slice the avocado and put it cold.

-Put on a grill pan and let it get hot on high heat, now you can grill the Coeur de Boeuf (tip * grill on one side, otherwise they will become too soft)
