Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 lime (juiced and zested)

2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread

1 small garlic clove (minced)

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

Olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados into the bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado to your preferred creaminess, whether chunky or smooth. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic to the bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, stir in the optional red pepper flakes.

    Toast the Bread: Heat a toaster or pan over medium heat. Toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and have a crispy exterior. Aim for a nice crunch, as this will provide a perfect base for the creamy avocado mixture.

      Assemble the Toast: Once your bread is toasted to perfection, generously spread the lime-avocado mixture over each slice, using the back of a spoon to create a smooth, elegant finish.

        Garnish: Carefully place the halved cherry tomatoes atop each piece of toast, arranging them in a visually appealing manner. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the tomatoes for a burst of freshness and color.

          Finish: Drizzle a touch of olive oil over each toast for an added richness that complements the flavors. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper if desired.

            Serve: For the best experience, serve your zesty lime avocado toast immediately while the bread remains warm and crispy, ensuring each bite is delightful!
