Fresh Avocado Tomato Bruschetta

Ingredients:

2 ripe avocados: Ensure they are perfectly ripe for the best texture and flavor.

1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced: Adds a sweet and tangy taste.

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped: Provides a sharp, zesty contrast.

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped: Enhances the dish with a burst of fresh, herbaceous flavor.

1 tbsp lime juice: Prevents the avocado from browning and adds a citrusy kick.

1 tbsp olive oil: For drizzling over the bread and mixing with the toppings.

Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning and bringing out the flavors.

1 baguette or crusty bread, sliced: The base for your bruschetta, providing a crispy, crunchy texture.

1 clove garlic, halved: For rubbing on the toasted bread, adding a subtle garlic aroma.

Directions:

Prepare the Avocado Mixture:

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Add the lime juice, salt, and pepper to the avocados.

Use a fork to smash the avocados until they reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, smash lightly; for a

smoother spread, smash thoroughly.

Mix the Toppings:

In a separate bowl, combine the diced cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Gently toss to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Toast the Bread:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.

Toast the bread in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-

toasting.

Once toasted, rub the cut side of the garlic clove over the top of each bread slice. This step adds a subtle garlic flavor that

enhances the overall taste.

Assemble the Bruschetta:

Spread a generous amount of the smashed avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Ensure an even layer to cover

the entire surface.

Top with the tomato mixture, distributing it evenly across the avocado spread.

Serve:

Arrange the bruschetta on a serving platter.

Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, adding a touch of green and extra freshness.

Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal combination of textures and flavors.
