How to Make Cucumber Guacamole Appetizer Bites:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- Use European cucumbers wrapped in plastic for this recipe, because they have skins that aren’t treated with wax.
- Use a melon baller (affiliate link) to scoop out the center of a slice of cucumber that’s about 5/8 inch thick.
- If you have plenty of time to make my Cilantro Lover’s Perfect Guacamole (or my Easy Guacamole), that will make these even better.
- This time I just bought guacamole from Costco and that also worked great for this.
- The trick that makes this easy is to put guacamole into a small zip-loc bag, snip off the corner, and squeeze enough guacamole to fill the center of each piece of cucumber.
- Then if you’d like sprinkle the guacamole with the tiniest pinch of chile powder.
- That. Is. All. Eat and enjoy!
- This will be a hit with all the guacamole lovers at a party, but it’s also easy enough just to make for yourself whenever you need a little guacamole in your life!

Ingredients
- 1 large European cucumber
- 1 cup guacamole (see notes)
- chile powder for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Wash and dry the outside of the cucumber if needed. Peel off strips of the skin if you like that look, or don’t like the taste of the skin.
- Cut the cucumber into slices that are about 5/8 inch thick, discarding the ends.
- Use a melon baller (affiliate link) to carefully scoop out the center of each cucumber slice to create a small cup.
- Put the guacamole into a small ZipLoc bag; then carefully snip off the corner of the bag.
- Lay cucumber pieces out on a serving dish, with the scooped side up. Carefully squeeze out enough guacamole to fill the center of each piece of cucumber.
- Sprinkle each one with the tiniest pinch of chile powder.
Notes
Don’t make them too far in advance because the cucumbers do release a little water after they’re cut.
You can use Cilantro Lover’s Perfect Guacamole, Easy Guacamole, or purchased guacamole for this recipe. (Use more or less guacamole depending on how big the cucumber is and how full you like them.)
