Ingredients:

2 cups strawberries
300g
1/4 cup onion
18g
1 jalapeno pepper
14g
1 lime
70g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 avocados
400g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, finely chopped onion, and chopped jalapeño pepper.
- Add the lime zest and pour in the lime juice over the mixture.
- Toss in the chopped coriander leaves.
- Season with a dash of salt.
- Mix everything together gently to combine all the flavors. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Prepare the Avocado Boats:
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Using a spoon, gently scoop out some of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the salsa. (Save the scooped-out avocado for another recipe or mash it up and add to the salsa if you prefer.)
3. Assemble the Boats:
- Spoon generous amounts of the prepared strawberry salsa into each avocado half, filling the cavity.
4. Serve:
- Place the stuffed avocado halves on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and nutritious treat as an appetizer or side dish!

Tips:

- Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape when stuffed.

- For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping.

- Add more or less lime juice to adjust the tartness to your liking.

- Prepare the salsa in advance and let it chill in the fridge for an hour to enhance the flavors.

- Garnish with additional coriander leaves or even a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for added complexity.

Strawberry salsa-stuffed avocado boats are not only a feast for the eyes but also a delight for the palate. The creamy avocado paired with the bright and tangy strawberry salsa offers a well-balanced dish that is both nutritious and satisfying.
