Instructions

1
Slice the cucumbers into rounds about 3/4-inch thick — you should get 18–20 rounds total. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving the base intact so the cup holds its filling.
2
Scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining — the texture should be thick and spreadable, not runny.
