These deliciously healthy cucumber bites are a great addition to any party menu. Crunchy, juicy cucumbers are filled with a creamy herby avocado-feta mixture, then top with trout caviar and crispy capers. Crispy, salty, briny—fried capers add an extra dimension of flavour and texture without effort to these simple cucumber bites. And for festive occasions or any dinner party, you can't go past trout caviar for flavour and wow-factor. They come together quickly, making them perfect for last-minute entertaining. Plus, they are naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly.

 

2 Cucumbers, cut into 2,5cm / 1 inch slices 1 Ripe avocado, stoned and peeled 80 g Feta 2 tbsp Chives, chopped 1 tsp Finely grated lemon rind 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tbsp Olive oil 2 tbsp Baby capers, drained 1 tbsp Trout caviar

1. Cut cucumbers crossways into 2,5cm / 1 inch slices. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop about half the seeds from the centre of each cucumber slice to make a cavity. Discard seeds. Place cucumber slices on a serving plate.
2. Place the avocado, feta , chives and lemon rind in a food processor. Process until almost smooth. Add the lemon juice and process until smooth. Season.
3. Fill the cucumber cavities with avocado cream. You can also transfer the avocado mixture to a piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm plain nozzle and pipe evenly into the cucumber cavities.
4. In a small fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Carefully add the capers. Fry, swirling the pan gently to move the capers around, for 2-3 minutes or unti crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer capers to a plate lined with paper towel.
5. Top the cucumber bites with some trout caviar and sprinkle the crispy capers over and some extra lemon zest if desired.
