Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis

2 ripe avocados

1 medium tomato, diced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

Juice of 1 lime

1 garlic clove, minced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini: Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center gently using a spoon, creating a boat-like shape. Reserve the removed flesh for later use in the guacamole.

Make the Guacamole: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados with a fork. Then, add the reserved zucchini flesh, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, minced garlic, and cilantro. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the Boats: Carefully spoon the guacamole mixture into each zucchini boat, packing it slightly to ensure it's filled well.

Garnish: Top with halved cherry tomatoes for a fresh touch and additional flavor.

Chill and Serve: You can serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve these vibrant boats as a refreshing appetizer or snack!
