Instructions

To a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to medium-low, stirring occasionally until the liquid is reduced by half, 10-15 minutes. The balsamic reduction should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the balsamic vinegar from the heat and stir in the honey. Set aside to cool completely.
While the honey balsamic reduction cools, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-5 minutes. Then, drain the corn and let it cool before cutting off the kernels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, mozzarella, tomatoes, avocado, onion, basil, oil, salt, and pepper Toss gently to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the salad. Toss to mix.
Serve immediately.

Notes

*This Caprese salad is still delicious if you do not make the reduction. Just sprinkle the desired amount of balsamic vinegar over the salad after assembled.
