A refreshing and healthy appetizer combining creamy avocado with crisp cucumber slices.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Use a spoon to easily scoop out the avocado flesh.
Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
For a creamier texture, use a potato masher or blender.
Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, and finely diced red onion to the mashed avocado. Mix well.
Adjust the lime juice to your taste preference for a tangier flavor.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste as you season to avoid over-salting.
Slice the cucumber into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
Use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Spoon a small amount of the avocado mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Avoid overloading the cucumber slices to keep them easy to handle.
Arrange the bites on a serving platter and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
