Ingredients
6 slices of French or sourdough bread – I used a rustic French garlic bread
1 1/2 to 2 cups of cherry tomatoes – sliced in half
8 fresh basil leaves – thinly sliced
2 avocados – mashed
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 tbs white balsamic vinegar
1 small clove of garlic – minced
4 twists of fresh black pepper from a pepper mill.
2 pinches of salt
Instructions
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and chop up the basil and add to a bowl.
Whisk together dressing ingredients – olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper and 1 pinch of salt. Pour over cherry tomatoes and basil. Stir to combine and set aside.
Toast bread slices. I toasted them in the toaster.
Put the toasted slices of bread on a serving platter.
Mash up the two avocados in a bowl with a fork. I left the mashed avocado on the chunky side.
Add the mashed avocado to the top of the toast slices. I patted it down with a fork as I added. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the avocado mixture on the bread.
Spoon the marinated tomatoes on top of the avocado toast and you’re ready to serve.
Notes
I used white balsamic vinegar but you can use regular balsamic vinegar if that is what you have on hand (but it will be darker in color).
Don’t mash up the avocado ahead of time, it will turn brown. Mash it up right before serving.
