In the mood to spice up your avocado toast game? Try my Caprese Avocado Toast! It’s totally vegan, and totally delicious. I love the combination of crusty whole wheat bread, fresh tomatoes, and sweet balsamic reduction. I will definitely be including this combo in my regular avocado toast rotation!
Vegan Caprese Avocado Toast
I hope you enjoy this fun twist on a caprese salad as much as I do!
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 2 pieces of bread
- 1 large or 2 medium heirloom tomatoes sliced
- 1 avocado
- 3-4 basil leaves
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- Fresh herbs to garnish I used parsley & pea shoots
- Salt & pepper
- Garlic powder
- Chili flakes
Instructions
-
To make your balsamic vinegar reduction, bring the vinegar to a boil in a small sauce pan, then reduce your heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow your reduction to cool.
-
Now for the toast! While your bread is toasting, season your avocado to taste (I like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a little red pepper) and mash it in a small bowl. Spread that on your toast, then top with tomatoes, herbs, and your balsamic reduction. That’s it! Enjoy!
-
You can store your leftover balsamic reduction in an air-tight container. Keep it in the fridge if you won’t be using it soon, and warm it up slighly by placing your container in a bowl of warm water before you use it next.

Craving cheese? Throw some burrata on there!
Don’t have time to make the reduction? You can buy pre-made balsamic vinegar reduction. You can also make a large batch of this reduction and save it so you only have to make it once in a while!

I feel like this is a good “non-basic avocado toast”
