Ingredients
2 large ripe avocados 1 cup crumbled feta cheese 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Cut each avocado in half and remove the seed. Use a spoon to gently scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create a well for the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle the lemon juice over the avocado boats and gently toss the mixture. Stuff each avocado boat with the feta cheese mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and remaining lemon juice to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the stuffed avocado boats and serve immediately.
