There are as many ways to make avocado toast as there are chocolate chip cookie recipes or a favorite apple pie. What is stirred into the avocado, what is piled on top, and the kind of bread used, is made to everyone’s personal taste. Some people simply like the avocado in slices and placed on a piece of toast with nothing else. I usually prefer spices, herbs, and a touch of lemon or lime mixed into the coarsely mashed avocado, spread on whole grain toast, and piled with sliced tomato, cucumber, thin red onion slices, drizzled with a little olive oil, and a final grinding on of black pepper, and maybe even some red pepper flakes if I feel like more spice.
What do you put on your avocado toast? I would love to hear!
