Steps

Slice the cucumber into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, chili powder, and salt until smooth.
Spread a small amount of the avocado mixture on each cucumber slice.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes for a cooler snack.

Tips for Spicy Avocado Cucumber Bites

Choose a ripe avocado that yields gently to pressure; an underripe one can leave the topping firm and bland.
Cucumber rounds with a dry surface help the avocado topping stay in place instead of sliding.
The topping may darken after sitting, so assemble close to serving time for the freshest color and texture.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry sparkling wine
Its lively bubbles complement the cool cucumber and creamy avocado, while its freshness suits the chili and lime.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lime

Storage

These bites are best served fresh. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and eat within 1 day; the cucumber may release moisture and the avocado may darken.
