Avocado Basil Cucumber Bites
Cucumber slices are coated with a yoghurt spread and topped with a piece of tomato in these delicious cucumber bites. A fabulous low carb appetiser or meal that is also gluten-free.
These cucumber bites are ready to assemble quickly and are a bright addition to any gathering or fiesta table. The fresh green with a touch of red will entice you to their plate! The undried basil sets well with the luscious taste of cucumber along with the typical taste blend of yoghurt and cucumber.
If you desired a dairy-free cucumber basil bite, avoid the yoghurt. The shiny green colour of the avocado would look grand too. Add a bit of lime to the mixture to stop any blemish though. Fresh basil is one of life’s small joys, in my view. It develops high and generous, has a most fragrant smell and can give the flawless number of garden-fresh flavouring to your recipes. Every type of basil I’ve used to grow has accomplished without a lot of additional care from me. Low support, uncomplicated to raise, and high on the yield that’s my kind of plant!
