Ingredients:
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.
With minimal ingredients and effort, you’ve created an elegant and nutritious dish that impresses both visually and taste-wise. These avocados are a testament to how simple ingredients can come together to make something truly special. Enjoy your healthy gourmet creation!
