Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 lemon (zested and juiced)

1 clove garlic, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), for garnish

Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional for topping)

Microgreens or sprouts (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, scoop out the ripe avocados and mash them with a fork until slightly chunky. Add the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined, adjusting seasoning to taste.

    Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat or use a toaster. If using a skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and toast each slice of bread on both sides until golden brown and crispy.

      Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over each slice. Scoop the lemon avocado mixture generously onto each slice.

        Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top if you like a bit of heat. Garnish with fresh herbs, halved cherry tomatoes, and microgreens or sprouts for an extra touch of freshness and nutrition.

          Serve Immediately: Enjoy your zesty lemon avocado toast while the bread is still warm. Perfect as a nutritious breakfast or a light lunch!
