Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread (low sodium or sodium-free)
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Start by toasting the two slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crisp to your liking.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a small mixing bowl using a spoon.
Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Add the fresh lemon juice to the avocado and stir well to combine. This will add a zesty flavor and prevent the avocado from browning.
If desired, mix in the garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.
Remove the toasted bread from the toaster and place it on a plate.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the two slices of toast.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, if desired, for an added burst of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low sodium avocado toast!
