Avocado halves four ways - each takes less than 5 minutes. Liven up your avocado for a yummy snack!

When I was little, my mom used to give me half an avocado as a snack.

Usually it was filled with minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Ever since then, it's been a favorite of mine.

Avocados are pretty versatile and taste good with many different flavors, so I did a bit of experimenting.

The lemon and oil and balsamic and oil toppings are nothing revolutionary, but I wanted to share those since you may not have tried them.

The other two are a bit different, and I think they're delicious.

The one with Greek yogurt is basically a quick tzatziki. I love my kalamata olives, but feel free to omit them if they're not to your liking.

The fourth one has a sweet and salty Asian-style dressing and is equally delcious.

I hope you enjoy these.

    Hi There. It says that the cook time is 4 minutes. But I wanted to know what it's cooked in? Oven or microwave? Sorry it say sound like a silly question. Thank you so much!

      Hi! These aren't actually 'cooked'. When I input the recipe I have two choices - prep time and cook time. I consider the prep time the time it takes to get the ingredients ready, and then the cook time is when you're actually making the dish even if it isn't technically cooked. Sorry for the confusion 🙂

    I never have stuffed avocados before and definitely am inspired too now - love each of the recipes, especially the dill one as it's my favourite herb!
