Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cooked salmon, flaked (use canned or freshly cooked)

2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or substitute with 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, and capers. Use a fork to mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.

    Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise, and remove the pits. With a spoon, gently scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh from the center of each half, creating a larger cavity for the salmon mixture. Be cautious not to pierce the skin.

      Stuff the Avocados: Generously spoon the lemon garlic salmon mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves. Fill each half until they are heaping, allowing some of the filling to mound slightly above the avocado.

        Garnish: Arrange the stuffed avocados on a serving plate. Add lemon wedges around the plate for an aesthetic touch and flavor enhancement. Finish with fresh dill sprigs placed atop each avocado for a vibrant pop of color.

          Serve: Enjoy these deliciously refreshing stuffed avocados right away as a quick meal or a delightful appetizer that’s both healthy and satisfying!
