To prepare a delicious and healthy snack, we start by ensuring we have a ripe avocado on hand, which will provide a creamy texture and rich flavor. The first step is to peel the avocado, being careful not to leave any pulp on the skin, as we want to make the most of this ingredient. Once we have the pulp, we cut it into smaller pieces to mash it more easily. Using a fork, we mash the avocado pulp until we achieve a smooth paste without lumps.
Next, we take care of the green onion, which we will chop as finely as possible. This will add a note of freshness and a slight spiciness to our preparation. After chopping the onion, we add it to the bowl with the avocado paste. Here, we will also add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, which will enrich the flavor of the dish and give it a finer texture. Lemon juice is essential, not only to provide a tangy taste but also to prevent the avocado from oxidizing, thus keeping the vibrant color of the dish. We add two tablespoons of lemon juice and a little salt to taste, mixing all the ingredients well until they are homogeneous.
Meanwhile, we prepare to fill the tomatoes. Choose small cherry tomatoes or other varieties that have a suitable shape. We cut a small cap off the top of each tomato and, using a spoon or a small knife, hollow out the tomatoes of seeds and inner pulp, being careful not to destroy them. This step will create an ideal space to fill the tomatoes with our delicious avocado paste.
Once all the tomatoes are prepared, we fill them with the mixture, being careful to fill them well but not overstuff them. These appetizers will look very appealing on the platter, and the combination of red and green colors will surely be appreciated.
Finally, we can add a few fresh parsley leaves on top for a splash of color and flavor. These stuffed tomatoes with avocado paste are perfect as an appetizer at a party or as a healthy snack at any time of the day. Serve them immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients!
