Ingredient Notes
Avocado: Fresh and ripe for creamy guacamole. Lettuce: Crisp and fresh, it serves as a healthy and crunchy base. Lime: Adds tanginess that balances the richness of the avocado. Cherry Tomatoes: Sweet and juicy, they perfectly complement the other ingredients.
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, prepare the lettuce cups by washing and drying the lettuce, then separating the leaves into individual cups. Prepare the guacamole by processing the avocado and lime juice until creamy. Add your seasoning of choice. Fill the lettuce cups with generous dollops of the guacamole. Lastly, top each guacamole-filled lettuce cup with a halved cherry tomato. Serve immediately.
Things I’ve Learned
Keeping the skin on the avocado while preparing the guacamole makes it easier to handle. Also, adding the lime juice immediately after processing the avocado prevents it from going brown too quickly.
