Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into rounds
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumber slices: Slice the large cucumber into thick, even rounds and arrange them neatly on a serving plate to form the base of this appetizer.
- Mash the avocado mixture: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy and smooth, ensuring the flavors are well combined.
- Assemble the slices: Spoon a small dollop of the avocado mixture onto each cucumber slice, spreading gently if desired to cover the surface.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro on top of each slice for added color and flavor, and serve immediately to maintain freshness and prevent browning of the avocado.
Notes
- Add cherry tomato halves on top for an extra burst of color and enhanced flavor.
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the avocado for a mild spicy kick if desired.
- Serve the slices fresh to prevent the avocado topping from browning and maintain the best texture and taste.
