Usually it's avocado with garlic, lime juice, onion and tomato, aka guacamole! More often,I'll dice half an avocado to add protein and heft to a lunch salad.
So, this avocado toast intrigued me so much that I decided to try it right that minute as I needed a quick fix, pre-workout lunch.
I cut a quarter of an avocado and diced the inside while still in it's shell. I then mashed it with a fork, added a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and mixed all together.
In the meantime, I toasted a slice of whole wheat bread, nice and brown, the way I like it.
I then topped the toast with the mashed avocado, piling it high and making sure every edge was covered.
I sprinkled a pinch of red pepper flakes over the top and...
devoured the delicious treat.
I was pretty impressed with how much flavor the simple lemon-olive oil, red pepper concoction imparted to the creamy but bland avocado.
I would definitely recommend you try this at home, and if you feel like a snack get up and do it right now!
Enjoy!
Maria
