Salmon Salad Stuffed Bell Pepper Boats
These stuffed bell pepper boats are a light and refreshing meal that's perfect for summer. They're filled with a creamy avocado and smoked salmon salad, and they're roasted in the oven until the bell peppers are tender and the salad is warm and bubbly. The result is a delicious and satisfying meal that's also good for you.
I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover smoked salmon. I had some bell peppers in the fridge, and I thought, why not stuff them with the salmon and see what happens? The results were so delicious that I've been making them ever since.
