    Summer Avocado Caprese Salad

    Avocados have been trending for a great reason, they're amazing for you! As far as I can recall, avocados are a part of dinner every.single.day ... until I grew up and they now cost over $1 for a small avocado that never seems to ripen. But, major but, when you're able to find the perfect avocado, it's like food heaven! Trying to get my kids to eat healthier has been challenging, but they all loved this healthy summer avocado caprese salad recipe that's also perfect for putting in jars for lunch on the go!

    Grab your fresh grown cherry tomatoes and slice them in half, look at how juicy these are! (Have a ton of tomatoes? Check out this roundup from Family Fresh Meals for awesome recipe ideas using your tomatoes!)
