Transform an avocado into a showstopping dish that tastes even better than it looks. Just cut slits in an avocado half using the hasselback technique, then add tomato, cheese and a flavorful dressing for a healthy Mexican-inspired side.

I made this for lunch one day as I am trying to eat healthier. I was dreading what my lunch would taste like and was very surprised how good this tasted. I will be making and sharing this recipe! Thank you Carolyn!!

A fun new way to eat avocados, I love it! I use chopsticks as a guide to make sure I don't cut all the way through the bottom while hasselbacking—super helpful!
