Mmmm, do you love avocado as much as I do? This is a nice veggie hors d'oeuvre, or you can add a sprinkling of bacon. I've made it with Havarti cheese as well as Swiss. Number of servings depends on people's appetites.

CHERRY TOMATO PASTA WITH AVOCADO SAUCE



Cherry Tomato Pasta with Avocado Sauce image

Heart-healthy avocado makes this pasta dish feel indulgent without being overly rich. The flavorful sauce is so luscious, you'll think there is cream hiding in there. It's guilt-free and dairy-free, but with a texture and consistency that's similar to traditional cream-based sauces. -Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

AVOCADO-STUFFED TOMATOES



Avocado-Stuffed Tomatoes image

Cute as a button... and tasty too! These are a simple, bite-size appetizer. I like to double the amount of filling to make sure there's plenty for each little 'mater.

Provided by Jeanne Benavidez

Categories     Fruit Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

30 cherry tomatoes (about 1-1/4 pints)
2-3 medium avocados, pitted, peeled & cut up
4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 tsp garlic salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp onion, grated or very finely diced

Steps:

  • 1. Cut a thin slice from the top of each tomato so you can scoop out the seeds. (I also cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each tomato so they stand upright.)
  • 2. Using a small melon baller, carefully scoop out the inside of the tomatoes. Turn them upside down on a paper towel lined cookie sheet and let them stand for about 30 minutes to drain. You can either add the pulp into the filling mixture, or, if there are too many seeds, just discard the pulp.
  • 3. Meanwhile prepare the filling...put avocado, cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper and lemon juice in a food processor. Cover and pulse until smooth.
  • 4. Add the grated onion to the mixture and stir to blend. Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a round tip or a ziptop plastic bag (cut a small tip off of the plastic bag AFTER you spoon the mixture into it).
  • 5. Place the tomatoes, open sides up, on your favorite serving platter. Pipe the filling into the tomato 'cups'.
  • 6. Serve immediately or cover loosly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
