Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 small bell pepper (any color), diced

½ cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the halves to separate them and remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a small amount of the flesh from each half to create a deeper cavity. Be sure to save the scooped-out flesh for later use.

    Mix the Filling: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, diced bell pepper, corn kernels, and fresh cilantro. Stir the mixture gently to combine the ingredients evenly.

      Create the Creamy Dressing: In a small bowl, mash the reserved avocado with the lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth consistency. You can use a fork for a rustic texture or a food processor for a creamier finish.

        Combine and Season: Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetable mixture in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to stir everything together gently, ensuring all the vegetables are well coated with the dressing.

          Fill the Boats: Carefully spoon the creamy avocado and vegetable mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado halves, filling each “boat” generously.

            Optional Topping: For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of each filled avocado half.

              Serve: Serve your Creamy Avocado Garden Boats immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges on the side.
