Ingredients

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

For 4 people

2 Avocados
150g of Greek Yogurt
½ Lime or Lemon
A pinch of Salt
A pinch of Pepper
A small amount of Small salad shrimp or Smoked Salmon
A few sprigs of Dill, Chives, or other Herbs of your choice

How to make it:

1/ Prepare the Avocados:Cut each avocado lengthwise around the pit and twist to separate. Then cut each half again lengthwise to make quarters. This method makes it easier to remove the pit and peel the skin by hand. Dice the avocado flesh into roughly 1 cm cubes.

2/ Blend into a Purée: Place the diced avocado in a blender or food processor. Add the juice of half a lime (or lemon) and blend until smooth. Tip: Adding the citrus juice early helps prevent.

3/ Add the Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt and blend again until the texture becomes light and mousse-like.

4/ Season to Taste: Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or citrus if needed.

5/ Serve and Garnish: Spoon the mousse into small bowls or serving glasses. Top with small salad shrimp or smoked salmon, and finish with chopped herbs such as dill or chives.

🌟 Our Favorite Tips for a Flavor Boost 🌟

⭐️ Make Avocados Easy to Handle: If your avocado is perfectly ripe, cutting it into quarters first makes the pit slide right out. The skin also peels off easily by hand—no spoon needed. It’s a quick and clean way to prep avocados, especially when you want things to look neat. 🥑

⭐️ Why Use Greek Yogurt?: Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and full of body 🩷 perfect for giving your mousse a smooth, rich texture. If you’re using regular yogurt, strain it first to get a similar result.

⭐️ Spice It Up (Just a Bit!) : For a subtle kick, try a pinch of cayenne, chili powder, or a touch of jalapeño or Tabasco. A small spoonful of Dijon mustard also works beautifully—especially with smoked salmon or small salad shrimp.🍤

⭐️ Best Enjoyed Fresh : Avocados brown quickly when exposed to air, which can affect both the taste and appearance. Serve the mousse right after making it for the best flavor and look—this dish is meant to be enjoyed at the moment!

⭐️ Serve It Your Way: Spoon into small glasses for an elegant starter, use it as a dip with bread or crackers, or serve alongside a salad on the main plate. However you enjoy it, it adds color and freshness to the table.✨
