Everyone is planning their summer vacations, including me. I’ve decided to a “staycation” this year! What’s a staycation? Well, I’m not going to do any kind of traveling. I’m gonna stay home with Stephen, Angela, and the puppies. However, we’re totally gonna have other friends and family members over to play board games and eat a lot of food! If you now me at all, I’m going to be make a ton of different amazing food, without necessarily having to do a lot of cooking. I mean, it’s already hot…so why not #bringtheheat to your palate in a chilled, delicious, and healthy way!

I love making food with super simple and fresh ingredients. With this recipe, I’m using Mezzetta’s Roasted Red Peppers! I could eat roasted red peppers all of the time on just about anything and in anything. They have this nice sweetness to them that will add a layer of flavor to all of your dishes. Mezzetta , like me, has a philosophy of fresh, delicious, and healthy foods. In fact, they are becoming the #1 brand in the country! That should definitely give you a lot of great faith in the company, as they already have mine.

So, let’s talk about this delicious appetizer that you’re going to make, and that your friends and family members are going to eat up by the pounds! Be sure to make a lot of them.

Ingredients

• 1 Jar of Mezzeta Roasted Red Peppers (Large or Small, depends on how many you are making!)
• 1 package of mini organic Mozzarella balls
• 2 to 3 Avocados (chilled)

Instructions

This process is going to work better if you layout all of the mozzarella balls out on a tray before combing the other two ingredients and sticking a toothpick in it.

Slice small vertical strips from your Mezzetta Roasted Red Peppers and lay them across the mozzarella balls.

Slice your avocado open, deseed it, and scoop out each half of avocado onto a cutting board. Make medium sized vertical slices. From there, lay the avocado slices on their sides and cut into 3-4 chunk style pieces. Refer to the different images as a visual example.

Place a toothpick through the top to the base, and you're ready to serve!
