Stuffed Avocado Shells

Aside from the fact that they are pretty expensive, or that one in 3 is either too raw or half spoiled, avocados are actually pretty great. You can eat them raw, stick them in a salad, use them instead of butter in your baking, smush them into a smoothie, turn them into ice-cream (or face cream)—you can even use them to make dips. With a little bit of imagination, an avocado can take you a long way!

Guacamole is one of my favorite avocado based starters, but this stuffed avocado shells recipe is equally, if not more appetizing, especially if you want to prepare something that will impress at a dinner party. There’s also some lime and dill in there, which give the dish a really fresh taste (perfect for hot summer days). 🙂

STUFFED AVOCADO SHELLS

Directions:
1. Cut the avocado in half, and carefully scoop out the flesh from the shell.
2. Put all the ingredients in a food processor, and process until the mixture resembles a dip.

Enjoy!
