Ingredients
- 18 cherry tomatoes
- ¼ plus ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, divided
- 1 avocado, halved and pit removed
- ¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, as a garnish
Instructions
- Slice the tops off the cherry tomatoes. Using a small melon baller or teaspoon, scoop the seeds and pulp from the inside of tomatoes. Sprinkle the insides with ¼ teaspoon of the sea salt. Place the tomato shells upside down on a paper towel for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Place the avocado flesh, yogurt, lime juice, water, garlic, remaining ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, coriander, and black pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the avocado mixture to a resealable plastic bag and cut off ¼-inch piece at the bottom corner of the bag. Pipe the filling into the tomato shells and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cilantro to garnish.
