Lighter Option: Pesto Avocado Stuffed Tomatoes

For a low-carb alternative, skip the crostini and serve the filling inside cherry tomatoes for a fresh twist on this simple recipe! Here’s how:

Instead of crostini, hollow out larger cherry tomatoes using a small spoon or melon baller. Fill each tomato with the pesto avocado mixture and serve immediately — or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Instructions

To prepare the topping, combine Spice World Pesto, avocado, cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into small slices.
Spoon the pesto avocado mixture onto crostini crackers.
Top each cracker with slices of cherry tomato.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
