Oats Free Cilantro Lime Avocado Spoons
These little avocado cups are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the table before you even sit down. Each halved avocado becomes its own edible bowl, loaded with crisp cucumber, sweet red bell pepper, and a bright cilantro-lime dressing that ties everything together beautifully. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of cumin add just enough depth to keep things interesting without overwhelming the fresh flavors. The trick of folding a little scooped avocado flesh back into the filling means every bite is extra creamy and cohesive. Raw pumpkin seeds scattered on top bring a satisfying crunch and a subtle nuttiness that rounds out the whole dish. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of oats and oat derivatives, so there's no label-reading stress — just whole, clean produce and pantry staples. Serve them straight away with an extra squeeze of lime and watch them vanish.
