Cucumber Filled with Avocado Pesto
Ingredients
1 cucumber
3 large garlic cloves
1 Tbsp pine nuts
15 fresh basil leaves
1 ripe avocado
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 sliced Kalamata olives
Preparation
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. With an apple corer or teaspoon, remove the seeds and leave a bottom to the cucumber so it forms a little cup. Crush or press the garlic, pulverize the pine nuts and add chopped basil. Mash the avocado with a fork and put in a mini processor. Add to the avocado a squeeze of lemon juice and add the garlic pine nut mixture. Fill the little cucumber cups with the mixture and garnish with olive slices.
