I love the combination of flavors in these cups. The avocado is creamy and rich, the endive is crispy and refreshing, and the salsa adds a nice kick.

These cups are a great way to use up leftover avocado. I always have a few avocados on hand and these cups are a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious these cups were. I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but the filling was so flavorful that I couldn't resist. I'll definitely be making these again.
