Description

These cucumber bites offer a delightful burst of freshness, making them a perfect snack or appetizer. Crisp cucumber slices provide a cool and hydrating foundation, offering a satisfying crunch with every bite. The creamy avocado and ricotta blend creates a smooth and rich layer, adding a velvety texture that perfectly complements the cucumber's refreshing nature.

The combination is both light and satisfying, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a guilt-free indulgence. The addition of savory salami introduces a delightful contrast to the coolness of the cucumber and the creaminess of the avocado-ricotta mixture. The salami's subtle saltiness and slighty chewy texture elevate the overall experience, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile.

This thoughtful combination of textures and tastes makes each bite a truly enjoyable experience. These cucumber bites are incredibly versatile and easily adaptable to personal preferences. Feel free to experiment with different protein sources to create your own unique variations.

Diced turkey provides a lighter alternative to salami, while crispy bacon introduces a smoky and savory element. For a vegetarian option, consider adding finely chopped hard-boiled egg for a protein-rich and satisfying bite. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to tailor the recipe to your specific dietary needs and taste preferences.

Whether you're looking for a quick and healthy snack, a visually appealing appetizer for a gathering, or a light and refreshing addition to a meal, these cucumber bites are sure to impress. Their vibrant colors, fresh flavors, and satisfying textures make them a welcome addition to any occasion. They are also incredibly easy to prepare, requiring minimal effort and time in the kitchen.

Simply slice the cucumbers, prepare the creamy topping, add your protein of choice, and assemble. In just a few minutes, you'll have a delightful and flavorful snack that is both nutritious and delicious. Enjoy the refreshing and satisfying experience of these delightful cucumber bites, a true celebration of simple ingredients and harmonious flavors.

Instructions

    1.
    Remove the avocado from its skin and place the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado using the back of a fork until smooth. Add the ricotta cheese to the mashed avocado and mix thoroughly until well combined.
    2.
    Stir the salt and dill into the avocado and ricotta mixture, ensuring even distribution. Finely chop the salami. Set aside a portion of the chopped salami for garnish. Mix the remaining salami into the avocado filling.
    3.
    Take a whole cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Wrap one half of the cucumber and set it aside for another recipe. Place the remaining half on a clean surface. Using a knife or spoon, carefully remove the seeds and core of the cucumber, creating a hollow space to hold the filling. Ensure the space is adequately hollowed to accommodate the filling.
    4.
    Spoon the avocado filling into the cored cucumber half. Pack the filling firmly to avoid a mess. It's perfectly fine if some of the filling rises slightly over the edge of the cucumber.
    5.
    Slice the filled cucumber into approximately 10 pieces. Top each slice with the reserved bits of salami. Serve immediately and enjoy!
