Elegant Flower-Shaped Breadsticks with Creamy Avocado Green Sauce

• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• 1 zucchini
• 1 cucumber piece (10 cm)
• 1 handful large radishes
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 bunch chives
• 2 stirred yogurts
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove
• 12 breadsticks
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper

• Prep time: 25 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Wash and dry all vegetables. Slice the radishes and cucumber thinly. Peel the zucchini in strips, removing a thin layer of flesh with the skin. Use a cookie cutter to create flower shapes from the zucchini skin and pepper flesh. Score the centers of the vegetable slices with a cross-cut, then gently puff them open and thread onto the breadsticks.

Peel the avocados; slice half of one thinly and reserve. Blend the remaining avocado flesh with yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and three-quarters of the chopped chives. Season with salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste.

Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a small serving bowl and chill for 15 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped chives. Serve breadsticks alongside for dipping.
