For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of pesto. Use a high-quality balsamic glaze for a sweeter and more intense balsamic flavor. If you can't find balsamic glaze, you can also reduce balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until it thickens into a glaze-like consistency. Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
