Greetings from London! I have been traveling a bit and am reminded daily of how hard it is to eat well while on the road. This easy recipe is a great snack for any roadtrips or flights (especially with those dreadful airline meals!). As simple as this recipe is, you’ll love the amazing combination of texture and taste!
Ingredients
Serves 2
2 cucumbers
8oz sliced turkey breast
2 ripe avocado
Directions
First, peel your cucumbers. I like a tiny bit of skin on mine for the added texture but you can do however you prefer. Then cut your cucumber in half (not lengthwise!). Next, with a sharp paring knife, make an initial indentation lengthwise and start cutting the core of the cucumber out, creating a hollow log shape out of the cucumber.
Next, core and slice your avocado in quarters. Once that is done – simple layer the turkey in the cucumber and place the avocado in the turkey. Voila! You have yourself a fresh, paleo snack that’s refreshing and delicious! Feel free to add some basil or other herbs to add more flavors. I keep this simple because my husband loves the basic saltiness of the turkey next to the crunchy cucumber and the creamy avocado.
Cheerio!

Saw the photo above on Pinterest and made my own version with what I had on hand: cheese and avocado. Simple but still so yummy! I didn’t realize you had slit lengthwise so I just hollowed out by sticking a knife in the ends and then stuffed my filling inside, this worked well too.
Looking forward to trying this with turkey as you suggest! I’m going to link up to you on my blog and will be checking out more of your creations.
