Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Avocado Mousse: Halve the avocados and remove the pits. In a food processor, add the avocado flesh, lime juice, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and fresh herbs. Blend until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  2. Assemble the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses, filling them three-quarters full. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.
  3. Add the Smoked Salmon: Lay slices of smoked salmon generously atop the avocado mousse, creating an elegant presentation.
  4. Chill and Enhance Flavors: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with additional herbs and serve alongside crusty bread or crackers.
