These were a major hit at a birthday potluck at work. I used freshly squeezed lime juice instead of lemon. Very aesthetically appealing as well as tasty.

These are delicious! Nice tangy creamy avocado flavor plays really well off the tomatos. Another plus is that they look beautiful set out on a plate - so colorful. I didn't change anything - made them just as posted. Only thing I'll probably do different next time is make more!!

Very tasty and unique (I used red lumpfish caviar), although a lot of work. We had an assembly line of three so it wasn't so bad. Thank you.

Hello Derf, these little pieces of "wonderful" were the perfect something that we wanted to eat one afternoon! We enjoyed them immensely - had some friends over for an early dinner and while I was preparing these we decided to taste them and we were hooked! Of course, we had to have them with caviar even though it was roe caviar - the budget is tight! Can't imagine what they would taste like with bacon, must give it a try. We, also added, red pepper flakes to the avocado mash. Thank you for such a flavorful posting, Manami ;)
