Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

1 small bell pepper (any color), diced

½ cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: crumbled feta cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Gently scoop out a bit of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling. Set the scooped-out avocado aside for later use.

    Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, corn, and fresh cilantro.

      Create the Creamy Dressing: In a small bowl, mash the reserved avocado with lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. You can use a fork or a food processor for a creamier texture.

        Combine and Season: Add the creamy dressing to the vegetable mixture and stir gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

          Fill the Boats: Spoon the creamy avocado and vegetable mixture back into the avocado halves, generously filling each boat.

            Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy your Creamy Avocado Garden Boats right away, garnished with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
