Description

Whole grain slices of French bread are toasted to perfection and topped with smashed avocado and a garlicky tomato basil mixture.

Ingredients

  • ½  Loaf Whole Grain French Bread (or 1 Petite Loaf), Sliced 1/2 Inch Thick
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Divided
  • 2  Avocados, Smashed
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • ¼ teaspoons Sea Salt, Plus Extra
  • ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 4  Roma Tomatoes, Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 4 leaves Basil, Chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven on broiler setting.

Place slices of bread on baking sheet, spray with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with sea salt. Broil slices in oven about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from oven and rub with one clove of garlic (make sure to cut it in half before rubbing).

In a medium bowl, mix smashed avocado, lime juice, and sea salt and ground pepper.
