Instructions

2.	Cut avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
3.	Add lemon juice, green onions, garlic, and salt to the avocado and mash everything together with a fork to achieve your desired guacamole texture. Stir in the optional caviar.
4.	Spoon your guacamole into a piping bag. Pipe the guacamole into each tomato, filling it to the brim. Replace the cap on each tomato then serve.

PROS

Cherry tomatoes with guacamole are an impressive appetizer that’s both easy to make and quick to disappear at parties.
This recipe doesn’t require any cooking, so it’s perfect for hot days where you don’t want to turn on your oven or stove.
It’s also an excellent way to get some healthy fats into your diet from the avocado.

CONS

The one and only con might be the fact that cherry tomatoes with guacamole aren’t exactly a low-calorie snack.
The avocado alone can have up to 240 calories, so it’s essential to be mindful of portion control while enjoying this appetizer.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Although the guacamole filling for this recipe can be high in calories and fat, it’s packed with nutrients that offer amazing health benefits. Avocado contains heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C and K. Tomatoes are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, and lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant.
