Get Recipe IngredientsPrepare Cucumber: Slice the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Use a melon baller or small spoon to hollow out the center, leaving a small base.
Make Avocado Filling: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Mix in lime juice, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add chili flakes if desired.
Fill the Cups: Spoon the avocado mixture into each cucumber cup, slightly overfilling.
Add Crunch: Sprinkle mixed seeds on top of each cup for added texture and flavor.
Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- Use lemon juice instead of lime for a milder citrus flavor.
- Add finely diced red onion or cherry tomatoes to the avocado mixture for extra texture.
- Best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the cucumber.
