YUMMMM!!!
Easy and delicious!
Stuffed avocado is delicious! Have a great day!
Such a great combination of colours and flavours Pam!!
Love it!
Cheers,
Lia.
This would be the best lunch EVER for me! It looks wonderful Pam!
Hi Pam,
I’m alsmost ashamed to admit I had to toss the last avocado in the compost pile last night. Oh how I wish I would have thought to prepare such a creative dish. Marion would have LOVED it! Well, I know for next time:) Thank you so much for sharing, Pam…(I did save the pit though to grow:)
Looks so beautiful.. nice combination!!
And I thought caprese couldn’t get any better as-is! What a wonderful, light snack or side dish. I love this, Pam!
This looks so good! Super fresh and a great way to use up that avocado I have sitting in the fridge right now!
You can’t go wrong with avocado! Is there anything that avocado doesn’t make better? I feel like I can eat it with just about everything. Can’t wait to try this. We’re going to be planting our cherry tomato plants soon. This will be a great use for them : )
You certainly did have a number one idea. Creamy avocados make everything better. I have been on an avocado kick because they have been showing up at the store in a ready to be eaten stage. Plus the look of it is color and elegant.
What a great idea … absolutely love it, and they are so pretty, too!
Oh for a moment I thought that this was a baked one! This is a great idea serving it as a cold salad starter 🙂
Looks like a nice lunch or side dish. Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best!
How clever. I bet these ingredients taste great together.
These are some of my favorite fresh ingredients. Such a great idea!
So fun! Makes me so sad I’m allergic to avocados!
I eat an avocado almost every day. They are so delicious and healthy! I usually just sprinkle the avocado with lime juice and a little sea salt, but now you have me craving this!
I love avocados! This looks awesome!
you put anything in an avocado bowl and i’ll devour it, but this is particularly refreshing and lovely!
Healthy and yummy!
