What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 whole ripe avocados halved and pitted
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
- 0.5 whole English cucumber diced
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives halved
- 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Use a spoon to slightly enlarge the cavity where the pit was to create more room for filling. Place cut-side up on a plate.
Step 2: Make the Greek Salad Filling
In a medium bowl, combine quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and halved kalamata olives. Drizzle with red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing and toss gently to coat all vegetables evenly.
Step 3: Fill the Avocados
Spoon the Greek salad mixture generously into each avocado half, mounding it slightly above the rim. Do not be shy with the filling as it is very nutrient dense and low in carbs.
Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve
Crumble feta cheese generously over the top of each stuffed avocado. Season with cracked black pepper and a small pinch of dried oregano. Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
Easy substitutions

Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Preparing this dish too far in advance causing the avocado to brown and oxidize
- Using underripe avocados which are too firm and lack the creamy texture needed
