Best Cream Cheese And Avocado Salad Recipes

CANAPES WITH GARLIC HERB CREAM CHEESE AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Slice the bread into 1/3-inch slices (cut on the diagonal if it's a very small baguette to get bigger slices). Place them on a baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with melted butter.
• Bake 5 minutes, or until they are just starting to golden. Let these cool to room temperature.
• Toppings: Cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, spoon the avocado flesh out of the shell and cut avocado into slices. Finely chop both green onions and 1/4 cup of fresh dill.
• Use a fork to mash together 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup chopped dill, chopped green onion and your pressed garlic clove.
• Spread enough herbed cream cheese over each canapé to generously cover the top.
• Top canapés with avocado slices and squeeze a couple drops of lemon juice over the avocado slices (this keeps the avocado from browning), then sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with dill and green onion and you're done! It's best fresh but tastes great even after refrigeration.
