Preparation
- Cut the cucumber through the midline, leaving two cylinders. Slice the rounded end off each cucumber half so both ends are flat. Use a small knife or spoon to remove cucumber seeds, leaving you with two hollow cylinders.
- Push avocado into the centers of the cucumber. Use your fingers or a butter knife to press avocado against the sides of the cucumber. Add bell pepper and carrot slices.
- When the cucumber is filled with veggies, use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch-thick rounds.
