Ingredients

4 servings

For the cups

2 large english cucumbers

For the filling

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (optional)
Ingredient note
The Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Ingredient note
Dried red pepper flakes can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid red pepper flakes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Slice the cucumbers into rounds about 3/4-inch thick. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving the bottom intact to form a cup. Arrange the rounds on a serving platter.
2
Scoop the avocado flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, red onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mash and stir with a fork until the mixture is chunky but cohesive, with no large unbroken pieces of avocado remaining.
