Base Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 lemon wedge (for squeezing)
- Sea salt, to taste
- 2 to 4 slices toasted bread
Optional Toppings
- Desired toppings such as cherry tomatoes, radishes, sprouts, feta cheese, chili flakes, or olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado: Halve the avocado vertically and remove the pit carefully. Using a small knife, dice the avocado flesh while it is still inside the skin to make it easier to scoop out and mash.
- Season the avocado: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the diced avocado to add brightness and prevent browning. Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the avocado flesh for enhanced flavor.
- Assemble the toast: Scoop the diced and seasoned avocado flesh out of the skin directly onto the toasted bread slices. Mash the avocado gently with the back of a fork to spread it evenly.
- Add toppings (optional): Customize your avocado toast by adding your favorite toppings such as sliced cherry tomatoes, radishes, sprouts, feta cheese, chili flakes, or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor and texture.
