Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 2 ripe avocados, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 1/4 cup of your choice of fresh herbs. Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt, then season with salt and pepper. Blend until fully incorporated.
  2. Spoon or pipe the avocado mousse into individual serving glasses or a platter, filling each container to about three-quarters full and aiming for a smooth surface.
  3. Slice the smoked salmon into elegant pieces and arrange them on top of the avocado mousse, distributing evenly.
  4. Refrigerate the plated mousse for at least 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning if preparing ahead of time. Serve cold.
