Simple Tomato & Avocado Crostini

This is a very simple and light tomato/avocado crostini. I like to think of it as a cross between a bruschetta and a salsa topped toast.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Rub garlic clove on each slice of hot baguette. This will add a perfect light garlic essence without being "in your face" or oily. This technique is actually one of my favorites to use with crostinis or toasted sandwiches.
  2. 2
    Mix together tomato, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Scoop spoonfuls of the tomato/avocado mixture onto the garlic rubbed crostinis.
  4. 4
    Serve and enjoy!

I had this for lunch and it was very good! Loved the lime juice! I scaled the recipe down for just me, using 2 slices of baguette. Thanks for a nice light lunch! Made for My 3 Chefs event.
