Instructions:
- Carefully cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the flesh from each half, creating a slightly larger cavity without breaking the skin. Reserve the scooped-out avocado in a bowl.
- Dice the smoked salmon into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In the bowl with the scooped-out avocado, add the cottage cheese. Mix the two together until you have a creamy consistency with chunks of avocado.
- Add the diced smoked salmon to the mixture. Gently fold to incorporate the salmon evenly without mashing it too much.
- Sprinkle the mixture with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir gently to distribute the seasoning evenly throughout the filling.
- Spoon the smoked salmon and cottage cheese mixture back into the avocado halves. Fill them generously to the top.
- Place the stuffed avocado halves on a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of dill, a wedge of lemon, or a sprinkle of paprika for added color and flavor.
- Serve immediately as a light lunch, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy the creamy, flavorful combination of smoked salmon, cottage cheese, and fresh avocado!
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados.: Ensure your avocados are ripe but still firm to avoid them falling apart when you stuff them.
- Flake the salmon.: Gently flake the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces for the best texture and distribution in the recipe.
- Season mindfully.: Smoked salmon is already salty, so use salt sparingly to avoid over-seasoning.
- Chill before serving.: For a refreshing experience, chill the stuffed avocados in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Garnish for presentation.: Add a sprig of fresh dill or a sprinkle of chives on top for an extra touch of flavor and enhanced presentation.
